Start/Stop Macro Button
Seeing your Toggle Button's code would help. But in the meantime, here is
code using 2 buttons and a module-wide visible 'switch' you can start with one button and stop with the other - but note, as written nothing to stop person from hitting "Start..." button before time is up and starting it over, giving themself more time. Note that this code will not compile/run because "TimeIsUp" is undefined - I just used that as a placeholder. Option Explicit Dim StopTimer As Boolean Sub Button1_Click() TimeIsUp = False 'clicking this button starts the timed event StopTimer = False Do Until TimeIsUp Or StopTimer = True 'looping inside timer loop 'the "TimeIsUp" would be the conditions 'you've set up to indicate out of time DoEvents Loop MsgBox "Time is up or you Stopped It" End Sub Sub Button2_Click() 'simply set the flag to True StopTimer = True End Sub "Paul987" wrote: I have a macro that runs continuously w/ a timer, however I would like to be able to start and stop it with a button.
