CANCEL.KEY Example in Function Reference Incorrect

Last reviewed: November 2, 1994
Article ID: Q72922

SUMMARY

Page 26 of the "Microsoft Excel Function Reference" for version 3.0 gives the following example using the CANCEL.KEY macro function:

   =CANCEL.KEY(TRUE,CheckCancel())

Executing this statement in a macro causes a macro named CheckCancel to run whenever the ESC key is pressed. In most situations, this will generate an error.

The example should read:

   =CANCEL.KEY(TRUE,CheckCancel)
