One of my macros encountered an error that resulted in a pop up box. I go to
stop the macro in the pop up box that lets you stop or pause the macro. I try to go
back to the main program in the task bar, but it has a tiny play button on it and
I can't open up the program. I have to force close the program through the task manager
and then reopen. Any suggestion?

Hello,

you also need to close this error pop up box (in addition to clicking on "Stop" button). When there is no pop up window showing the macro execution is stopped and you should be able to get back to main window.

Best regards,
Petr

I have both closed the error pop up and clicked the stop button. However, the little play button still shows in the taskbar. Using Win XP and tried doing this when no other programs were open yet.
