Default Stop a VB program from running

I'm using excel 2002 so I'm not sure whether it would
work on 2000, but I just hold down Esc.

Hello,

If my VB program runs by mistake in an infinite loop,

there seems to
be no way to stop it without killing Excel with the

TaskManager.
I think there should be a way to just stop whatever the

interpreter is
doing. The 'play/stop' toolbar of the VBEditor does not

react in any
way when the program is running. Might be important also

that the
program is sporting MsgBox'es so it is always waiting

for an answer,
and I can't click from the dialog to the stop button in

enough time. I
need to stop it _while_ it is waiting for an answer from

me.
I'm running Excel 2000 on Windows 2000.

Any ideas appreciated,
S
.
