Stupid, stupid question....
Hi all, I'm hoping someone can assist with something that is SO
straightforward but is driving me nuts...! On my work-pc, when I insert a break in a macro, I can then move from line to line of the code by pressing F8 - the yellow highlight will then move to the next line, and that line will run. On my home pc, this doesn't happen, and I can't find any setting to activate this feature! The yellow highlight appears on the next line to run, but it won't move on... I find this feature very useful when debugging and really could do with activating it... Both pcs run Excel 2003. Apologies for asking such a dumb question, but I'm officially At My Wit's End here... Cheers DS |

Hi DS,
Perhaps the F8 key on your home machine is not functioning - perhaps simply stuck? Select the Debug toolbar from the View | Toolbars menu. The Debug toolbar includes a 'Step Into' button. --- Regards, Norman "DS" wrote in message ...
