I support an Excel 2003/2007 workbook for Siemens Building
Technologies and the workbook performs a lot of background functions
and does a lot of copying and pasting of data from hidden worksheets
to formatted form style sheets. This bug almost renders the entire
program useless. I would be interested to know if there is an ETA for
the fixes that will make the software work again. There is no quick
fix in my case, having 20+ sheets and hundreds of functions and
macros.

To date no one has received notice of an ETA for the fix.

Yes, this is a bug and has been reported to Microsoft. Hopefully, MS will fix
these problems asp.

But here is the simple soltuion till MS fix....

Sub Sample_Report_Refresh()
'Set screen update false
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'Here will come code
'........
'........
'........



'Reset Screen
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Call Reset_Screen
End Sub
Function Reset_Screen()
With ActiveWindow
.ScrollColumn = 1
.ScrollRow = 1
.Zoom = .Zoom - 1
.Zoom = .Zoom + 1
End With
End Function

Best regards,
Muhammed Rafeek
