Control Break out of Infinite Loop In 2010 (2013) Excel VBA
break, ctrl, excel, infinite-loop, vba
Solution
Alt + Esc. Hold down the keys until it breaks.
From Windows 7 on, this will cycle through all open windows. Pay no mind, just keep squeezing it.
Problem
If I write code creating an infinite loop, with my new Excel, the Ctrl + Break no longer works. Neither does the Esc key, etc. I've looked all over the web and it appears that Microsoft has a bug and doesn't care to fix it. Is there a way to re-introduce the Ctrl + Break function to VBA so if this happens in the future I don't lose work / force close?
