Can someone please explain why Application.Quit is ignored
here and VBA goes on working? This is on Excel 97. My
code is similar to this:

Sub My_subrtn()

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

Dim x As Integer
x = 3

If x 2 Then

Application.Quit

End If

MsgBox "VBA is still running"

MsgBox "VBA is still running"

MsgBox "VBA is still running"

End Sub


Here, Application.Quit is ignored(?) and all the MsgBoxes are
executed.

I googled this and found that a DoEvents after the
Application.Quit statement solves the problem. Does anyone
know why?

I ask because I always thought that each statement in the
program must be executed before the next statement enters
the program. The above behavior throws that out the window.
In this case for example, do I need a DoEvents statement
after x = 3 in order to make sure the If statement doesn't
execute first? In other words what is it that makes
Application.Quit different?

Thank you for your time.
