Stupid infinite loop problem

[johnzxr]

Im sure there is a simple answer to this, but I cant find it.

I have done a stupid thing, put an infinite loop in a form that executes immediately I open the access file. This locks up Acess and I can do nothing.

how can I open the file without it exectuing the code?

TIA

Try holding the shift key down while clicking the application icon. Don't release the shift key until the application boots up.

I knew there would be a simple answer, many thanks.

Another answer is to use Ctrl-Break once the code has started. This will normally drop you into the VBA debugger. From there you have full control :)
