------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Oct 19 03:50:06 -0700 2006 ------- In the Basic IDE, in some cases, there is no way to stop a macro in an infinite loop except by killing the whole soffice. For example, have a look at the following code : while fileProcessed <> "" msgBox fileProcessed wend This is an infinite loop where a message box is displayed in each iteration. When executing this code, each loop will display a message Box which is modal. That means that you can't click on the stop button in the IDE. The only choice you have is to click on the "Ok" button from the msgBox, which will display a new msgBox... Currently, the only choice we have is to kill OpenOffice.org (or close the document containing the macro if you can). This may be quite annoying, because you have to re-open everything. This is somehow related to an issue Laurent (Lgodard) posted some years ago : Issue 24895 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
