What's the equivalent of:

'application.screenupdating = false'.  I've previously used that line of code in a Macro / Visual Basic Editor for MS Excel to stop screen flashing before the users eye when the computer is flicking between things to work things out!

I tried adding: 'Freeze window' to the beginning of my script as I thought I'd previously done and it worked - didn't seem to do anyhting on this ocassion.

My script calls other scripts though.  Should I put the Freeze window command at the start of each script in the chain? :-/

Hi jennifer,

you could, but would probably still see some flickering.

I create a main layout that is presented to the user. This layout contains 
something like a logo and nothing else. Then I create a new window wich is 
located off screen (set location to -10000 and -10000). All processes of the 
script take place there. Since it is off screen the user is unaware of this. 
When ready this window is closed and the main window switches to wherever I 
need to be.

Keep well,
Ursus
