I'm not sure how or when this happened, but the look of the VBA error windows I receive has changed. I've created an image to show you what they looked like before, and what they look like now.

This is a big problem, because when my code has an error, I can no longer use the Debug button to take me to the line where the error occurred.

I have been working on my Macro-Enabled workbook for several months now, and it did not use to do this. I have no idea what I did to change the way the errors look. As a test, I tried a new workbook, and the error on that one looks the way it should (like the BEFORE image), so it doesn't seem to be a change in Excel itself.

I also tried my workbook on another computer, and the same problem occurred. So I'm guessing there is something in my code that is causing this? I have no idea what it might be. Anyone have any ideas?
 
What if you just put the sub in a sheet module & run it directly, rather than calling it from an event?

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.

In that case I get the OK-Help dialog, not the debug button, regardless of whether the sub is Private or not.

That's the same as me, so it looks as though it's always been like that.

Seems that way, and explains why I have never noticed it as my sheet modules are almost exclusively event procedures.

Hmm, I get the debug button if I run that from a selection_change sheet module, or a standard module with the "Break on unhandled errors" setting. XL2010, Win10.

Me too! mine has been set on Break on Unhandled Errors from the git-go. Never had a problem with missing buttons. Maybe it's just grimlins.

I don't get the debug button if running the code from a sheet module with Break on Unhandled Errors (which is what I always have it set as), I do get the button in a regular module with Break on Unhandled Errors (or a sheet module with break on all errors or break in class module).

Also running 365 on W10 same as Fluff so might be a 365 issue.
