6. Loop without MoveNext in VBA

When looping through records, it is easy to create an endless loop by omitting the line rst.MoveNext. Your code then becomes stuck in an endless loop.

Solution:

VBA is more forgiving than most other languages: just press Ctrl+Break to break out of the loop.

Hint:

Even in a quick'n'dirty procedure, a progress indicator lets you know if a loop is stuck. The simplest reports every 100th record in the loop like this:

    i = i + 1
    If i Mod 100 = 0 Then    'Mod gives the remainder of i divided by 100.
        DoCmd.Echo True, i
    End If
