HI:

I have a spreadsheet that I am triggering from MS Access (it does some
editing that Access
is not very good at doing). I want to start the sheet with an auto_open,
and have the
whole process happen (right up to closing the spreadsheet again) with no
user
intervention. My question is: I also want to be able to get into the
spreadsheet to make
changes etc, and am wondering if there is some way I can set a breakpoint
or something
that will trigger the macros stopping if I press some function key.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks

John Baker
