I'm working on a Jeopardy game that uses the Speech.Speak
method to read the
questions and answers and a double-click event to move through
worksheets
containing them. I've found that double-clicking too soon
after the Speak
command causes the macro to crash on the next line of code.

Here's a simple example. I've found that with the following
module if I
double-click too soon a second time, the macro crashes. I
tried inserting a
pause loop before the speech command, but that doesn't make a
difference. I
think I understand why that doesn't work, something to do with
keystroke
buffers, if that's the right term.

Private Sub Workbook_SheetBeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Sh As Object,
ByVal Target
As Range, Cancel As Boolean)

Dim pause As Double

Cancel = True
Application.Speech.Speak Application.UserName & "is an
excellent programmer"

End Sub

Any suggestions on how to fix?

Thanks,

Doug
