Annoying Refreshes in Word

[Roam2k2]

Hi,
I've recently added VB checkboxes and textboxes, comboBoxes to a Word document, and whenever i either scroll down or type in the textbox...the screen refreshes and i'lll see comboBoxes out of place or my textbox moving up and down....yet their positions don't really change...it's just a weird refresh...hope i'm being clear...thanks guys!

Hi Roam

You can limit, but not entirely eliminate, refreshes of the document window via:
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
which you reset to:
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
when your macro's finished.

Userform refreshes, however, are basically subject to you graphics card's performance. From what I can tell, it seems that, with modern CPUs the spinner scroll rate can outpace the grapgics card's ability to keep up, so you sometimes get a bit of flashing going on. I don't know if there's much you can do about that.

Cheers

Thanks Macropod ! Hmmmm, yea...it's probably my graphics card. I'll definitely try that bit of code and let you know.
