Can someone help me to come up with the code to stop or break a running macro via a command button on a userform? I have two buttons on the userform, one to click when the macro is complete to unload the userform (I have the code for that) and another to stop the macro dead in its tracks while it is running if it is taking too long. Instead of the user pressing Ctrl + Break, I would rather have them click on a button.

Also, if I do this by a command button code, could I get a message box to pop up to ask "Are you sure?" just to confirm the macro should be stopped, and if the answer is no, then the macro will continue where it left off?

Thanks so much for all your help! You guys and gals are great.

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
I don't think this will work. I checked out the CheckKey example and it has the code placed inside a loop and uses the "Loop Until" command to tell it when to break out of the loop to end the function. My macro contains a bunch of operations, like copying and pasting and several loops and calculating that it's just not one big loop but an automated series of events, one after another.

I was thinking more of the VBA code for Ctrl+Break and assign it to the Button_Click code for the command button ... if possible.
