Macro to confine cursor to set boundaries

[mackensteff]

Hello,

Is it possible by vba to restrict the mouse movements to a given area of the screen. Ideally, I would like the cursor to be confined to a large button area once the button is pressed and triggers a macro, but by pressing esc or a similar key regain free movement, but then be confined to the button area once it is pressed again. Is this remotely possible (or does that even make sense)?

Thanks!!

I did mean the cursor, but the idea of a limited scroll area will work as well. I am using a button and macro to record times, and once I have started timing I don't want the cursor to wander off the button, unless I escape out. I am not necessarily watching the screen, so if I move the cursor off the button accidentally then pressing a mouse button won't record the time. So in essence I am trying to idiot proof the timing button, so once engaged the cursor will not move off it, and like I mentioned I think the limited scroll would work, if I could get it to work. I have attached a workbook, with no data, just the macro and button, if you want to check and identify my source of ineptitude. https://www.dropbox.com/s/blzj8fturd583i6/Trial.xlsm?dl=0
