Can I stop running code by user input ?

4
I have looping code in Access which generates Excel spreadsheets and prints them off. They can run to hundreds and at present, once the code starts to run there is no way it can stop cleanly part way through. For instance, if the wrong printer has been selected. (I know that Ctrl-Break should slam it but doesn't always and anyway that's not too user friendly). So is there any way a user input can work ?

Try to yield execution at certain time using DoEvents() function.

Thanks FishVal, that seems to be the right direction although it can be a bit iffy.
