Code loops to death every time I attempt to add a string to a cell
The file is a timesheet. I am trying to add the functionality of sending the
entries to an Access database. I am new to VBA and therefore I am taking it in baby-steps. All was going well until I try to simply add the string "Edit" to a cell. I have tried this several different ways and all end up going into a fatal loop (screen flashes and then crash). Everything else in this bit of code works beautifully. Here is what I am attempting to accomplish: 1. Check the current row to ensure that the "hours" column is greater than zero. 2. Check the current row to ensure that the "project number" column is populated. 3. If so, Lock and change color of cells "E" thru "I" of current row. 4. Then unlock and loose color of cell "J" of current row. 5. Add the word "Edit" to the same cell in step #4. Here is the code... For Each n In Range("Hours2") If n.Value 0 And IsEmpty(Range("F" & n.Row).Value) = False Then Range("E" & n.Row & ":" & "I" & n.Row).Locked = True Range("E" & n.Row & ":" & "I" & n.Row).Interior.Color = RGB(219, 229, 241) Range("J" & n.Row).Locked = False Range("J" & n.Row).Interior.Color = xlNone Range("J" & n.Row).Value = "Edit" End If Next n The "Edit" cell is intended to act as a button to later unlock and edit info after it has been added to the db, but I haven't gotten that far. In case you are wondering I chose not to use actual buttons because each sheet of this spreadsheet has about 100 rows each with the potential of it's own button. Please let me know what I am doing wrong here. Thank you, Jeff |

I don't see anything in your code that would cause a loop (except for the
For/Each line). Maybe you have an event macro sitting there waiting for a change to any cell and it's firing??? application.enableevents = false Range("J" & n.Row).Value = "Edit" application.enableevents = true would be how I would test it.

That did it.
Thank you. I don't think I could look at that code any longer. I am happy to be able to move on now.

Code loops to death every time I attempt to add a string to a cell
Hi Jeff,
I agree with Dave, it isn't obvious where the fatal loop is coming from. Can you give more information on the range Hours2? Does it only contain the hours column? Your code will cycle through every cell in the range, but even 100 rows by 100 columns shouldn't take too long. Can you see what is happening if you step through the code using F8?
