If there are any "external" operations which run asynchronously with the VBA
then you may get different results depending on how long those operations
take. For example, automating a web page from VBA without waiting for (eg)
pages to complete loading before trying to interact with them will show this
type of difference.

My boss built a macro which returns different results when run than
when he steps through it.

Before I get specific about what the macro does (since I don't have it
in front of me), I thought I'd ask the general question about what
might cause that to happen.

If the macro works when executed manually step-by-step, I would think
it should work the same way when launched.

Ideas? Comments?
