<DIV><SPAN class=982481719-01102003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear List:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
