Re: is there a hot key to break an endless loop which is run

CTRL I can find, but 'break' not.

is there a hot key to break an endless loop which is running

OK I'm a bit rusty, haven't used qb seriously for about 10 years and I've just turned 80 My question is:- If, in programming in Windows XP and QB, if I inadvertently insert an endless loop into my code and run it before I find out that it is endless, what can I do to stop execution WITHOUT losing th...
