In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to add an abort checkbox to a loop in VBA, allowing you to gracefully exit without shutting down Access. We'll cover setting up the checkbox, checking its status inside different types of loops, and making sure the interface responds properly during the process.

David from Germantown, Tennessee (a Platinum Member) asks: I've got a loop that [does stuff], and it takes a good 20 to 30 minutes to run. Sometimes I decide in the middle of that loop that I want to abort it. How can I do this without shutting down Access
