Stopping repetitive loop execution through user form (or other ide
I have a repetitive loop in a macro that I want to run repeatedly until the
user decides to stop it. I tried having a non-modal userform with a toggle button which when pushed, it would loop out of the repetitive loop. However, since the macro is busy in the code, I cannot push the button in the user form. Does anyone have any ideas on how a user can intervene to stop the code from the repetitive loop? The userform is just an idea, but anything that works would be great. Thanks for any help! Mike |

Stopping repetitive loop execution through user form (or other
This is almost exactly what I need! If I hit the ESC key and need to finish
up my loop (for some cleanup), is there a way to go back into the loop and finish up the current iteration. Essentially, I need to set a trigger "GetOutOfLoop" by pushing the ESC key and continue at the current line until the end of the loop. Here are the notes from the help about EnableCancelKey: On Error GoTo handleCancel Application.EnableCancelKey = xlErrorHandler MsgBox "This may take a long time: press ESC to cancel" For x = 1 To 1000000 ' Do something 1,000,000 times (long!) ' do something here Next x handleCancel: If Err = 18 Then MsgBox "You cancelled" End If "Tim Williams" wrote: Check Help for: EnableCancelKey Tim "Mike" wrote in message ...

Stopping repetitive loop execution through user form (or other
I found that the following line works well:
Resume Next This, however, will only go to the next line in the CURRENT procedure. Is there a way to go back to the current line in any procedure (especially a CALLED procedure)? Thanks!

You could always set a [global] flag in the error handler, and then use that to signal to other procedures to tidy up and then exit.

Stopping repetitive loop execution through user form (or other
Tim,
I can use a global flag, but then I would need the Error Handler & Resume logic in EACH procedure that I call. Is there a way that I can avoid that? Thanks!

I'm not clear on exactly what the issue is. Don't you just have one
procedure which loops? Or is it calling other procedures from within the loop? If so then yes you will need an error handler in each procedure. Or you could let the error "bubble up" to the main procedure and handle it there. Tim "Mike" wrote in message ...
