[AccessD] Interrupting processing

Not sure I understand.  Do I use KeyPreview to trap the keystroke of the hotkey?

  Just put in a Global boolean variable, and check it in your processes (If MyBool=True then AskToCancel).  Put a DoEvents in that process, and then have your 'hotkey' set that variable to true.  That should do the trick.

    Dear List:

    I have an application with a lot of reports that take a considerable time to run.  I always put a couple of text boxes on the calling form saying "Processing record: xxxxx of yyyyy" and update it so the user knows there's something going on and how much longer it will be before the report comes up.

    What I would like to do is to have a hotkey - probably the ESCape key - which would interrupt the processing, pop up a message box saying "Processing Interrupted.  Continue? (Yes/No)" and if the user elects to continue have the code pick up where it was interrupted. Is this possible?

    MTIA,
