Hiding Excel macro actions

Hi,

Was wondering how to perform macro actions in the background, without the user seeing what happens on the screen, I know it can be done, just can't remember how!

Thanks

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  'code here
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

Also : Application.DisplayAlerts = false 'hides pop up questions/confirmations

Hi,

I know this is off the topic of the post but do you know how to open an access database from excel as if i explored to it and opened it?

Thanks

Why do you need to open the database? Is your real intent to get data from the db?

No, I have a form that updates a database with excel data, but once the database is updated, i would like a message box to popup asking if the user would like to open the database.
