Suspends execution.

Stop

Remarks

You can place Stop statements anywhere in procedures to suspend execution. Using the Stop statement is similar to setting a breakpoint in the code.

The Stop statement suspends execution, but unlike End, it does not close any files or clear any variables, unless it is encountered in a compiled executable (.exe) file.

Example

This example uses the Stop statement to suspend execution for each iteration through the For...Next loop.

Dim I As Integer
For I = 1 To 10   ' Start For...Next loop.
   Debug.WriteLine (I)   ' Print I to the Output window.
   Stop   ' Stop during each iteration and wait for user to resume.
Next I
