Hi Mr. Excel,

I've scoured the internet and can't find the answer to this question. Everyone seems to get stuck in the same place (case #1, case #2, case #3, case #4).

The guidance for the SolverSolve function indicates that you can use ShowRef to pass a macro/sub into Solver after each of Solver's iterations. However, try as I might, I can't seem to get Solver to call the macro.

Code:
Sub SolverMacro()

Application.Calculation = xlAutomatic

Dim ChngCell_Cell As String
Dim SolverTarget As String

ChngCell_Cell = Range("ChangeCell_Cell").Value
SolverTarget = Range("Solver.Target").Value

SolverReset
SolverOptions StepThru:=True

SolverOk SetCell:=SolverTarget, MaxMinVal:=3, ValueOf:=0, ByChange:=ChngCell_Cell
SolverSolve UserFinish:=True, ShowRef:="MacroPass"

End Sub

Code:
Sub MacroPass(Reason As Integer)

Debug.Print "made it!"
MacroPass = 0

End Sub

I have searched every forum I could find for this, and I can't find anything. Would be blown away if someone can help here!
