Is there a shortcut for resetting a running application.

Grabbing the mouse then going to Run-Reset seems like a cludge. Like
there's a better way.

Putting this code in your procedure will allow you to test for the cancel
key. This is an example that I basically got from Dick Kusleika's website
'Daily Dose of Excel' (http://www.dicks-blog.com/)...
Modify as needed.

'/===========================================/
Private Sub ExampleOfHow2HandleTheUserPressingCANCEL()
Dim iTest As Double, iCount As Double
On Error GoTo err_Sub

'xlDisabled = 0 'totally disables Esc / Ctrl-Break / Command-Period
'xlInterrupt = 1 'go to debug
'xlErrorHandler = 2 'go to error handler
'Trappable error is #18
Application.EnableCancelKey = xlErrorHandler


'<<<<<<<<<<<<<<PUT YOUR CODE HERE

exit_Sub:
On Error Resume Next
Exit Sub

err_Sub:
If Err.Number = 18 Then
If MsgBox("You have stopped the process." & vbCr & vbCr & _
"QUIT now?", vbCritical + vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton1, _
"User Interrupt Occured...") = vbNo Then
Resume 'continue on from where error occured
End If
End If

GoTo exit_Sub

End Sub

You can use the escape key something like this for interupting a loop...

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim lng As Long
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Application.EnableCancelKey = xlErrorHandler
For lng = 1 To 1000000

Next lng
Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
If Err = 18 Then
If MsgBox("Do you want to stop?", vbYesNo, "Quit?") = vbYes Then
Application.StatusBar = False
Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End
Else
Resume
End If
End If
End Sub
