"Can't enter break mode at this time"
Hi,
I recently made the switch from Excel 2000 to 2003 in hopes that some of Excel's old bugs might just be fixed. In a couple of my Excel templates, I copy some worksheets when a user needs more than one of them. I have found that as soon as you do a sheet copy, you can no longer debug. For example, I have this copy in the middle of a macro, and as soon as it hits this line, I get the message that is in the subject of my post. Past this point if I have an error, the error dialog comes up but the debug button is disabled. This has been an issue for a couple versions of Excel and I was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it. The only KB article I can find relates to adding activex controls, which I am not. I also read that this can be fixed by turning of 'Require variable declaration' but that did not work for me, nor does that make sense. Does anyone know of a solution, or even a place to post the bug for Microsoft that does not cost money. PT |

"Can't enter break mode at this time"
Paul,
Are you using any timer or calls to OnTime ? NickHK "Paul T." groups.com... Hi, I recently made the switch from Excel 2000 to 2003 in hopes that some of Excel's old bugs might just be fixed.

Thanks for the reply. No timer calls at all.

Yes, that is where I found the suggestion to turn off 'Require variable
declaration' which did not work in my case. I should note that I am running Excel 2003 (11.8033.8036) sp2 , which is the most current version out there. |

I have narrowed this down a bit. It seems to actually happen when I
delete a sheet that has controls on it and code behind the sheet. |
