I have an Excel 97 application with a lot of VBA code that runs fine on my
machine with Windows 2000 Pro. I just bought a new laptop with Windows XP
Home and I installed Office 97 with Excel 97 (yes, I will be upgrading to
2003 -- the software is ordered but has not yet arrived).

Anyway, the app runs fine except for one thing -- I can't stop it. The
break key doesn't seem to to stop the code. The key itself seems to work
because when I use in combination with the Windows key to pop up the
System
Status it does that just fine.

The laptop is an HP dv1156cl (dv1000). Anybody got any idea what is
going
on?

Thanks.
