How do I interrupt a long running process?

vbn

I have a form on which I want to place two buttons. One button starts a long process running. The other button I want to use to interrupt (stop) the long running process.

I have tried using the system...doevents, but that does not seem to work.

Many thanks in advance!!!

You might want to create a worker thread for the long running process. Then it won't hold up the message que for the User Interface.
