[sarcasm on] Well, yeah, if your want the EASY way [sarcasm off] I've been hitting break to no avail. It never occurred to me to hit ctrl-break. Merci beaucoup and a hat-tip for the education. ------- Break, and set the cursor to End Sub or End Function, Run to cursor, press F8. Repeat to recurse to the offending loop. Put a brkpoint in the loop end, F5 a few times to see if it comes back repeadetly. /Henning
