Stop a VB program from running
Hello,
If my VB program runs by mistake in an infinite loop, there seems to be no way to stop it without killing Excel with the TaskManager. I think there should be a way to just stop whatever the interpreter is doing. The 'play/stop' toolbar of the VBEditor does not react in any way when the program is running. Might be important also that the program is sporting MsgBox'es so it is always waiting for an answer, and I can't click from the dialog to the stop button in enough time. I need to stop it _while_ it is waiting for an answer from me. I'm running Excel 2000 on Windows 2000. Any ideas appreciated, S |

Stop a VB program from running
Unless you have disabled the break key, you should be able to use
Ctrl+Break to break stop the code on the current line of execution. Note that it often takes several Ctrl+Breaks for it to take. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Soterro" wrote in message m...

I'm using excel 2002 so I'm not sure whether it would
work on 2000, but I just hold down Esc. -----Original Message----- Hello, If my VB program runs by mistake in an infinite loop, there seems to be no way to stop it without killing Excel with the TaskManager.

Soterro
On your keyboard, hold down Ctrl and hit Break. Break is near the upper right corner of your keyboard. Doing this will stop all code. HTH Otto "Soterro" wrote in message m...
