Stop Screen Flickering When Running Code

Running VBA code may cause the screen to flicker as the monitor is the slowest part of the program and cannot keep up with the very fast changes taking place.

To switch off the screen until the program is run enter the following code line:

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

The screen comes on automatically on completion of the program.
