Re: Let's try again: VBA Code stops randomly

And even worse: Our code rus repeatedly throughout a session - We've
automated a copy/paste routine. When we first start up, the code runs
through. Then is begins to break, then later it breaks all the time. It's not
totally random with us, but breaks somewhere within a loop that is working
down the *** to find an empty cell. It usually breaks on the 'WEND' line
(but at different rows.) If not then within three lines of it. The work
rounf of Enter-F5 always result in sucessful completion of that cycle.
And as you say John, it lokks EXACTLY like a poltergeist has noticed a bit
of nicely running code and is hitting ctrl-break for us.

We've tried it with or without the source (web based) application running,
we've tried doing the copy/paste manually, all to no avail. - It as if Excel
has decided how many times it is going to run properly during a given
session, and then just gives up.

We have looked at the upgrade history on the machines, and cannot find any
changes that coincide with the start of the problem.

The problem is spreadin just like a disease..........

I'm having the same problem described by BAC. Random breaks as if a gremlin
were pressing CTRL+BREAK at random intervals. When Debugging the code after
this happens, the yellow box points to random lines of code that are
perfectly fine for execution. The project will complete 100% of the time
just be "continue"ing execution after each random break.

I loaded Rob Bovey's code cleaner and tried it. I got it to work after
enabling the trust for VBA projects... AND "Continue"ing through its code
(the gremlin saw the cleaner code running too and tried to break it)
HOWEVER: the cleaned project still randomly stops execution.

Could there be some excel modules that are corrupt? The code cleaner after
the initial install, immediately started randomly breaking... so the
root-casue of this issue can not be with the VBE-editor's internal code
storage (unless it is being corrupted by a corrupted excel-module that needs
to be re-loaded)

Has anyone been able to solve this?

This can happen when VBA's internalcodestorage area get screwed up. The
best solution is to Export allcodeto text files, delete all modules and

internalcodestorage areas and start with a clean slate. Rob Boveyhasa
excellent add-in that automates this whole process down to two or three
mouse clicks.

Rob'sCodeCleaner is a "must have" add-in for any seriousExcel

Pressing F5 or clicking Continue makes thecodemove on as if nothing
happened. There are no break points, no errors, no missing objects. Just a
random stop like an old car I used to have. 8>( This is with both
Office 2000 and XP under both Win 2000 and XP.

The changing versions brings another thought to mind. Are there any
missing references in the 2003 version of the program? These often
manifest themselves in seemingly unrelated ways, with perfectly valid
statements causing errors.

Does theexecutionjump from one procedure in one application to a
different procedure in another application? This statement makes me
cringe: "the calling Access filehasbeenclosed". I think I'd be a
little leery of switching theexecutionlike this. Couldn't you add the
proper application and object references to theExcelbasedcodeand port
it into the Access project? This would keepexecutionin one context
only, although it could do all the same stuff as if it switched around.

I posted this several days ago but still have not gotten any replies.
I've
tried everything I can think of, but can't find a solution...

Xp pro, Office 2003 Pro

I have a routine that begins in Access, moves toExcel, then returns
results
fromExcelback to Access.

In the middle of theExcelportion of the VBA (the calling Access file
has
beenclosed) the VBA begins and continues to arbitrarily spit out a
"Code
executionhasbeeninterrupted" dialog box. Selecting Debug turns up a
differentcodeline each time; selecting continue allows the routine to
continue until the next "arbitrary" interruption.

This did not occure when we were running Win 2000 Pro and Office 2000
Pro.
Is this an XP or Office 2003 issue?

I have "googled" the error and found several discussions of this
activity,
but have yet to find a clear delineation of its cause or a clear
process/procedure for eliminating it, even tho some real heavy hitters
(MVP's) have addressed this question. Even the KB is really weak in
this
area.

Any help would be appreciated -> my users are looking for my head!

Hi,

Mine now stops randomly within the code of the Code Cleaner!!

Can anyone beat that??
