A simplified version of my problem. Consider a single command button on a blank worksheet. I want to be able execute the command button Click event with both the Return key and a mouse click. I want to be able to clear the message box with both the Return key and a mouse click. If I try to clear the message box with the Return key, it also executes the command button Click event again. So using the Return key to clear the message box puts you into a loop. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Tom

In ThisWorkbook
Code:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Sheet1.Button1.Activate
End Sub
In Sheet1
Code:
Private Sub Button1_KeyUp(ByVal KeyCode As MSForms.ReturnInteger, ByVal Shift As Integer)
Select Case KeyCode
    'Return is only key press that we care about
    Case vbKeyReturn
    Call Button1_Click
End Select
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click()
MsgBox "I am stuck in a loop when I use the Return key to clear this message box" & vbNewLine & "but everything is fine if I use a mouse click to clear this message box"
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
You can control which button in a MsgBox is the default, so if the user presses the ENTER(Return) key the button you picked, as the default, is activated!

In this case I made the CANCEL button the Default.


Sub myBox()

MsgBox "Test Msg!", vbDefaultButton3 + vbInformation + vbYesNoCancel, "Test!"
End Sub
