Values Disappear Unless Stepping Into

[vthokienj]

I am looking to find out why my code is behaving in this way. I put an X character in one of several cells depending on a condition.
The line to output this is:

Sheets("Sheetname").range("C3") = "X"

If I put a breakpoint at this line, then hit F5 to continue, no value appears. However, if at the breakpoint I use F8 to step into one line, the X appears
as expected. Then if I F5 to continue the X remains.

I've verified that screen updating is on. Any help in where to look to solve this would be appreciated, it just makes no sense to me right now.

Thanks

I haven't heard of different results from using F8 versus F5 to execute code.

There are possible reasons why that statement could give you inconsistent results if you don't have the same workbook active each time. Perhaps that was the cause and it happened to coincide with your trying F8 vs F5?

If you'd like additional help, please post your entire code.

Thanks for the suggestion. It was the same workbook. I'm not able to post my entire code; I found a workaround and this will just remain a mystery I guess.
