Hi,
I`ve done some rather basic programming in excel and in general I find
vba a useful tool. However, from time to time I run into some problems
that are very annoying because the program is unable to report on what
line of code causes problems. Today, I tried to run a macro that enters
a loop like

for counter = 0 to pi_maxnum

but the code never entered the loop and the program just stopped and
I`m right back in manual control over excel. The solution was to
hardcode the loop like

for counter = 0 to 10

and everything ran fine.

The pi_maxnum was defined as public in another module, I also tried
defining it as public in the module with the sub containing the loop,
to no effect.

I`m no vba expert, someone here can probably point out the problem, but
when the system never even to reports on why nothing happens .. it
should be a law against it. In this case I would excpect a message on
something wrong with the definition of pi_maxnum.

Anyway, if someone cares to share some thoughts on this I`d be glad.
