Carrie If you are in the debugger, then the easy way to break an infinite loop is to generate an error in the code by changing the data type of one of your variables.
As an example, if your loop is in a for / next structure, right clck on the incremental variable on the variables window, and change its value to a string. This will create an error and stop the execution of the code Not an elegant way of solving the problem, but it works.
