SUMMARY
The Solver Options dialog box will not close if Iterations is set to 32768 or higher.

MORE INFORMATION
Page 25 of the &quot;Microsoft Excel Solver User's Guide&quot; for version 3.0 states that only a very exceptional problem would require more than 1000 iterations. If the number in the Iterations box is set to a number larger than 32767, the dialog box will not close when choosing OK. No error message will be displayed.

Choosing Cancel or lowering the entry for iterations will allow you to choose OK and close the dialog box.
