Excel VBA Button Click Event calls subroutine multiple times!

[rveel]

Hello,

The subroutine associated with a Button Click Event under Excel 97 VBA executes itself repeatedly after the initial click. It does eventually stop after 50 or so iterations. The button is located on a form. I have reviewed my code closely and cannot find any reason for this. E.g., there are no loops in the subroutine.

VBA bug? Any ideas?

Thanks

rveel,
Without the code there is no way to assist you. You say there is no loop in the code, but what is it supposed to do and how does it know when it is done?

Hello Bryan,

Thanks for your message. I isolated and worked around the problem today (see below) by replacing the two commented lines with the equivalent third line. I still do not understand the original behavior, but it appeared as if the commented lines generated additional CategoryComboBox_Click()events.
