✓ Click in the gray margin to the left of the statement at which you want

the line to remind you that you set a breakpoint there; it also inserts a large
dot in the gray margin.
Figure 13-5:
The highlighted
statement
marks a
breakpoint
in this
procedure.
When you execute the procedure, Excel goes into Break mode before the
line with the breakpoint is executed. In Break mode, the word [break] is displayed
in the VBE title bar. To get out of Break mode and continue execution,
press F5 or click the Run Sub/UserForm button in the VBE toolbar. See “stepping
through your code” later in this chapter to find out more.
To quickly remove a breakpoint, click the large dot in the gray margin or move
the cursor to the highlighted line and press F9. To remove all breakpoints in
the module, press Ctrl+Shift+F9.
