Morning all.
I am using a bit of code to scroll through a sheet. It run in a loop and to stop it, I just press escape.
How can I suppress the popup alert "Code execution has been interrupted"?

Application.DisplayAlerts = False does not work...

Here's the vba:
Code:
Sub SlowScroll()
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
On Error Resume Next
    Dim r As Long
    Range("B8").Select
    Do
        DoEvents
        Sleep 2000   'Pause 2 seconds - Scroll speed adjust
        ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=5
        r = r + 1
        If r = 50 Then Range("B8").Select: r = 0
    Loop
    
  On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Thanks,
PuJo
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Can you specify what you are trying to do as the code you have is in an infinite loop.

You could assign these two macros to two buttons at the top of the sheet. Use freeze panes else they will disappear!

Code:
Dim cancel As Boolean

Sub Stopping()

cancel = True

End Sub

Sub Starting()

Dim r As Long

cancel = False
Range("B8").Select
Do
    If cancel = True Then Exit Sub
    DoEvents
    Application.Wait (Now + TimeValue("0:00:02"))     'Pause 2 seconds - Scroll speed adjust
    ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=5
    r = r + 1
    If r = 50 Then Range("B8").Select
Loop

End Sub

decadence,
I am trying to automate scrolling down a page.

Here is the deal. The worksheet is the stands for a fishing tournament.
At the end of the tournament, I want the page to scroll from top to bottom in an infinite loop as there is a separate monitor for viewers to look at.
The code works as I had it however when I stop the macro by pressing {esc} I get that "Code execution has been interrupted" popup message.
As I will not always be using the spreadsheet, other users will freak out when they see the error message. So if I can just get the message suppressed I would be happy unless there is a better way to it.

Thanks,
PuJo
