Excel unblock

[Onofrio]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Older version
Processor: Intel

Hi all.

I have an excel file with some cells containing Hypertextual URL links.

These links are opened by a macro but sometimes the internet site is slow because it is down or in overload and excel crashes.

I try pressing esc button but it doesn't work, the screen become white and everything stops.

I was arguing if there is a way to unblock excel in these cases or maybe a code that I can insert in the macro so that it stops the loop after 10 seconds.

Thank you

How are you opening links with a macro when XL 2008 doesn't support
macros?

*All* Excel is "by microsoft" [sic], but there are numerous versions of the
program for several different operating systems. Unless you're willing to
provide complete & accurate details it's impossible for anyone to assist
you... But if you're just on a phishing trip - as suggested by your sig -
don't bother to reply.

This newsgroup is for Macintosh Excel, and you indicated in your
original post that you were using Excel 2008, which does not have macro
capability.

The answer to your question may well depend on which platform
(Windows/Mac) and which version.
