Calling a macro from an event macro. Using nest loops with if statements

Hey guys,

I am somewhat competent at VBA coding so I am a little embarrassed by this problem: When I run a macro normally it works but then when I call it during an event macro a variable changes unexpectedly. The whole point of the event is to trigger after each data entry so that the interface is automated and therefore much cooler! Its not an issue with public variable declaration because the event macro uses mostly its own variable and the necessary variables from the other macro are public. My only thought is that during the regular macro data is entered into cells and that might trigger the event macro again but I'm not sure. I've even identified where it jumps by using message boxes but I don't have a clue why it jumps.

Here are the relevant parts of my event macro:

'calling macros corresponding to step 1 activities
'inserting Row
If Target.Row = boundary2 - 1 And IsEmpty(Cells(Target.Row, 1)) = False And IsEmpty(Cells(Target.Row, 2)) = False And IsEmpty(Cells(Target.Row, 3)) = False Then
    Call StoreAccounts  'gathers and sets variables needed for next steps
    Call InsertRow1  'inserts a new line so user can add more data
    Call ProceedStep2  'takes relevant data and puts it into the next step on worksheet
    Exit Sub
End If

'deleting Row
If Target.Row > boundary1 And Target.Row < boundary2 And IsEmpty(Cells(boundary2 - 1, 1)) = True And IsEmpty(Cells(boundary2 - 1, 2)) = True And IsEmpty(Cells(boundary2 - 1, 3)) = True Then
    rows(boundary2 - 1).delete shift:=xlUp
    Call StoreAccounts
    Call ProceedStep2
    If boundary1 + 3 >= boundary2 Then
        Cells(boundary2 - 2, 1).Select
    Else: Cells(boundary1 + 1, 1).Select
    End If
    Exit Sub
End If

Here are the relevant parts of my regular macro ProceedStep2 which is where the error occurs:

'Inputing entered credit card, loan, and investment Accountholder's First Name into part 2
For j = 1 To NumAccts  'numaccts=1
    If Accts(j, 3) = "credit card" Or Accts(j, 3) = "loan" Then  'this IF statement is triggered
        For i = 1 To 2
            If RowRef1 = RowRef3 Then
                rows(RowRef3).Insert
                RowRef3 = RowRef3 + 1
            End If
            MsgBox "j = " & j  'j=1
            MsgBox "i = " & i  'i=1
            If i = 1 Then
                Cells(RowRef1, 4) = AcctTab(j) & " payment"
                Cells(RowRef1, 4).Font.Color = -16776961
                RowRef1 = RowRef1 + 1
            End If
            MsgBox "j = " & j   'j=4 WTF!?
            If i = 2 Then
                Cells(RowRef1, 4) = AcctTab(j) & " interest"  'this line is where the error occurs because AcctTab is defined for j=1 only
                Cells(RowRef1, 4).Font.Color = -16776961
                RowRef1 = RowRef1 + 1
            End If
        Next i
    End If
    If Accts(j, 3) = "investment" Then
        If RowRef2 = RowRef3 Then
            rows(RowRef3).Insert
            RowRef3 = RowRef3 + 1
        End If
        Cells(RowRef2, 2) = AcctTab(j) & " return"
        Cells(RowRef2, 2).Font.Color = -16776961
        RowRef2 = RowRef2 + 1
    End If
Next j

The first message box checking the value of j reads 1 and the second reads 4, when it should be 1 because I have one account inputted. The variables are properly defined and have values set by the macro StoreAccounts. This is part of a complex project interface with about 25 different macros(~1500 lines total) so I don't think posting the whole thing would be a good idea. Also, I know the error has something to do with these parts due to the way I separated the macros. Again it works when I run manually but running by using the event macro causes "j" to jump to 4 for some reason. Please help!!!

This is TOTALLY BIZARRE but I tried putting those commands around different sections of the code and nothing worked....I closed out without saving and then reopened and it just magically worked. This doesn't make sense since i have already manipulated code multiple times and closed/reopened and it didn't work. Could this be some sort of excel/file bug????

Oh..actually I looked at it again and disabling events during the other called macros is what worked... Thanks so much! I didn't think that an event macro could be retriggered while executing itself...weird.
