Break Key doesn't work
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. |

Break Key doesn't work
Ctrl-Break, fn-Break, Alt-Break, Shift-Break, just the Pause(Break) key.
I've tried virtually every two, and sometimes 3 key combination I can thing of. Oh, and yes, the computer is plugged in and on. "Robin Hammond" wrote in message ... are you typing Ctrl-Break?

Break Key doesn't work
Try Ctrl+C
You might want to consult the manual. Keys aren't always straightforward on a laptop. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "ExcelMan" wrote in message ...

Break Key doesn't work
I have also met situations where if you have a very tight loop the break key
does not always work (seems like it cant get Excel/VBA's attention because its too busy). Adding DoEvents into the loop can sometimes help if this is the problem. regards Charles ______________________ Decision Models FastExcel 2.1 now available www.DecisionModels.com "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...
