Startup code and keys to break execution

[DawnTreader]

Hello All

is there a way to stop the startup code from running by hitting a set of
keys? or is there a way to put code into my startup so that i can hit a set
of keys and have it break the execution.

i have a few workbooks that i am working on and it takes them a while to
load and then refresh all the pivot tables in them. i want to be able to
break the code. additionally i am thinking that i will update the pivot
tables as the user clicks on the tabs, but at the moment i just need to know
if there are preset keys to kill code execution.

thanks for any and all help!

You are probably better of to not let the code start exectuing in the first
place. Try using a message box at the beginning of the startup routine to
determine if you want to run the refresh

if msgbox("Refresh Tables???", vbyesno) = vbno then exit sub

Hello Jim

thats a great suggestion. my boss and i were just thinking that when the
sheet is clicked on we could update the pivot tables then.

thanks for the help!
