Stopping Long Running Import Process 1

[sabloomer]

I have a form that is used to launch a couple different import processes. The code that does the importing is located in a Public Class Module. How do I get a "stop" button on the form to stop the importing proceces?

A little about the process. The import reads an Access table and loops through the records and imports the transactions. This is required to import the transactions into our ERP system. I can let the current record import, but I want to stop before the next one.

Thank You,

Scott

Run the process in a different thread. Keep a reference to that thread available from the primary thread. Call the Thread.Abort method to kill the process at any time. Handle the ThreadAbortException in your import code and clean up any open connections.

Thank You. It looks like I have some reading to do about threads!

There are a couple of FAQ's on threading in the FAQ section here. They are pretty short, but they might get ya pointed in the right direction.
