Excluding fields from a Current Selections Box

Within our application, we have several fields which are used to control navigaton and other flow within the application.  These fields have no meaning to the application user and so can be confusing if displayed,  How do we exclude these fields from the current selection box?

Here is what displays now.  The field marked with a yellow highlighter is what we wish to exclude.

Hi Mayil,

When I added these to the script, it worked as specified.  Thanks.

When I try to do this in the script, I get and error on the "as" ..  Should I be trying to accomplish this elsewhere?

Unfortunately, clearing this field results in conditionally "hidden sheets" becoming visible ... and if we wanted that, we wouldn't need the "ActiveSheet" field.  Thanks for the thought.
