How do I, Cancel a Print Job when in a loop

[Mike Purvis]

Hi,

I have an app that opens Word docs, prints data into them, then it prints the doc then closes the doc. It does this in a loop.

The program works fine, I just can't stop it while it is printing.

It is a single form program, it has a close button, which is set to be the cancel button, but no keypresses are recognized while the printing loop is going on.

One thing that I thought of is that it is because a dialog box pops up for each document that prints, making it the top window. I don't know how to turn this of though.

If someone could help with this it would be appreaciated.

thanks

hi

put DOEVENTS in your loop
assign e.g: ESC to stop any printing
