XL: Cannot Use Shortcut Keys to Run Macro in Break Mode

Last reviewed: June 13, 1997
Article ID: Q107847

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 5.0
Microsoft Excel for Windows 95, version 7.0

SUMMARY

If you are in break mode, you cannot start a macro or subroutine with a shortcut key. When you press the shortcut key, although the insertion point flashes as if the macro has been run, the macro is not started.

MORE INFORMATION

While you can use shortcut keys to start a macro, you cannot use them to continue it. If you want to call a subroutine while you are in break mode, you must call it manually by entering the name of the subroutine in the Immediate pane of the Debug window.

This is by design.
