Syntax

SolverSolve(UserFinish, ShowRef)

UserFinish   Optional Variant. True to return the results without displaying the Solver Results dialog box. False or omitted to return the results and display the Solver Results dialog box.

ShowRef   Optional Variant. Used only if True is passed to the StepThru argument of the SolverOptions function. You can pass the name of a macro (as a string) as the ShowRef argument. This macro is then called whenever Solver returns an intermediate solution.
