For loop1 = 1 To rec.RecordCount
TDM = DoEvents()
If lst.Text = 'abc'Then
txtUserID.Text = rec.Fields("UserID")
End If
rec.MoveNext
Next loop1
why use doevents() in this program?

Let's turn that around a little; why do you think it shouldn't be?

DoEvents() will allow events to be fired. Otherwise, the app will be 'locked' at least until the loop is done.

DoEvents is something to be used with caution - you need to consider that it might allow the user to click on a button and have the button code executed while you're in the middle of something else...

But, for the record, that's not to say that it should never be used.
