look).

If the range argument is improper, I would think #Ref, but I guess that is
up
to you.

I don't see any .jpg file.

#Ref or #VALUE! ?
Excel uses #VALUE! as shown in the attached JPG file.

would like to trap. (The two ranges are not of the same size.)

I would disagree that showing a message box in a function that will be
used
in a worksheet is desirable. It certainly doesn't conform to the way
other
functions work. When an error does occur, should the msgbox pop up
everytime
there is a recalc? also, even though you show the messagebox, your
code
go
aheads and raises another error by trying to execute with the flawed
ranges.

Since the error is a reference, I would show a #Ref and get out.

I am developing a VBA function to be used as an Excel worksheet
function.
Some error checking is included in the VBA. My problem is that Excel
executes the function before all input arguments have been specified.
This
gives rise to some very disturbing messages from my error checking.

How can I prevent Excel from running the function during the
specification
of input ?

I have attached a screen dump with a small example that illustrates
the
problem. The VBA is below. The screen dump shows the situation when I
have
entered ARange and is going on to enter BRange. I click C3 and
(while
holding down the Shift key) I try to click D4. But inbetween Excel
runs
the
function and recognizes that BRange is too small, i.e. BRange is C3.

Any ideas ? I could suggest one myself : Remove all calls to MsgBox,
and
assign an error value #VALUE! to the function. Any better ideas ?

Please also answer to (AndThis).

Kind regards,
Helge
