SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel, a breakpoint that you assign to a button in a custom
dialog box may fail to stop the macro.
MORE INFORMATION
When you assign a macro to a button in a custom dialog box, you can use the
Show method to display another custom dialog box. If you use a button in
the first dialog box to display the second dialog box, a breakpoint that
you assign to a button in the second dialog box fails to stop the macro.
However, if you use the Run Dialog button on the Forms toolbar to display
the second dialog box, or if you run a macro without starting it with a
button in a custom dialog box, the breakpoint does stop the macro.
