I tried control-break while this application was doing something else and it worked. &nbsp;But I came in and tried it again this morning and it didn't. &nbsp;Might it be that maybe it'll stop if it's executing code, but not if it's running a query or something?

I recently converted an application from Access 97 to Access 2007. &nbsp;When I come in in the morning, my application is still running, and and control-break won't stop it. &nbsp;So I have to use the task manager to stop it, and I can't see what code it was stuck on.<br />
<br />
How can I get the code to pause and show me what line it's executing?

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.
