SYMPTOMS

In the versions of Microsoft Excel listed above, when you display and then move a movable custom dialog box, a copy of the dialog box remains in the original location on the screen.

CAUSE

This problem may occur if the following command is called before the custom dialog box is called:

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

MORE INFORMATION

The ScreenUpdating property in Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications is used to turn screen updating off to speed up your macro code. You will not be able to see what the macro is doing, but it will run faster.
