The problem I have is that I have a msgbox which gives the operator the
opportunity to Exit the task. This procedure was part of the code
behind a Userform. Once they click Cancel the Exit Sub executes with
control reverting back to the original sub routine with the Userform
still present on the screen. What I need is to have the click of the
Cancel to completely close the task.

Hi
If you have
MsgBox "Click Cancel to abandon this procedure", vbOKCancelOnly, "Help"

you need to replace it with

Response = MsgBox("Click Cancel to abandon this procedure",
vbOKCancelOnly, "Help")

declaring response as a Variant will do. Now in your main sub you have

If Response = vbCancel then Exit sub
