no, this is not a safe hour to determine safety of code. I was thinking "Do Until" even as reading "Do While".. yours, you're right, has that edge case issue.
The API should do the trick without adding complexity.

Actually the way you wrote it is safe. timer always < 86400 start = timer so start < 86400 edge case, start=86399.98 then timer becomes 0 do while.. 0 < 86400.01 etc. easily true, so loop breaks early.

Watch working now but I did not change anything. Weird. The following works nicely for the delay though I wonder about a corner case where the timer started just a fraction before midnight... but I could just break.

You may find that the value of maxrow is never set to 111, even if it eventually surpasses that.. it's either that, I think, or else the context scope is wrong or Exel is messing with you tonight. ===== For testing, instead or in addition to range.scroll, you might use Debug.Print to print the current cell address or other data to the debug window then scroll though it after the run is complete or at any point code execution is stopped (there is some max numer of history lines kept) To save space in the history you could terminate debug.print with a comma or semicolon (instead of going to a newline after printing, comma goes to next tab stop and semicolon simply leaves cursor in-place).

Everything for the watch set up exactly as you describe and the watch window shows exactly what you said below. But it does not break. Program runs to the end though maxrow only shows 111 even though it goes beyond that. I will figure it out. Range.show works great though as you say way faster than I can read. For using for testing I will slow it down. Thanks yet again.

While code is running, if you are in break mode, you'll see the value of the expression maxrow = 111 (which will be True or False) in the Value column of the Watch Window as long as the listed context is in the current call stack (currently executing procedures). Code execution should stop as soon as the expression evaluates to True. > Also while the program is running it is filliing in several > columns of a sheet.

If it is a lot of cells getting filled in, it will take much longer, yet you will probably still end up scrolling faster than they can read. Some methods of scrolling: . RANGE.Show - scrolls so cell represented by RANGE is in center of window pane; doesn't activate it. Fails if RANGE is not in active document. . RANGE.Select - in the case of a single cell, scrolls to center of window pane; activates cell (slower) . WINDOW.ScrollRow, .ScrollColumn (also PANE.ScrollRow, .ScrollColumn) - scroll so selected row or column is at upper-left of WINDOW or PANE.

I set a watch with maxrow=111 and set to break if true. Program runs and in the watch window shows maxrow=111 though also some odd message about out of context but it does not break. Program runs to the end. Thoughts? Also while the program is running it is filliing in several columns of a sheet. Is there a way to have the sheet scroll while filling so the filling rows are visible? -- FORUM RULES (986+ members already BANNED for violation) 1) Use concise, accurate thread titles.
