I have a form that is calling a method in a class module. This method then goes through and calles other methods inside this class module. I want to be able to exit the program at any time, however once inside the class module, I can click my exit button, set the variables to nothing and it will continue on processing as if nothing happened. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

hi there..
how are you doing that???

if you are inside a procedure (even in a class) and you press a button in your form,it doesnt trigger unless you have a do events..

even with that.. it will trigger the button and then go bakc to were it was ...

Thanks for your reply.
I have doevents through out the code for items like the button that need to get fired. however when you click the exit button I want to exit the code, I click the button, inside the code I have the public variables set to nothing, which in my understanding means the class_terminate should fire, which it does not. It does go right back to the last place of execution, the point is I don't want it to do so I wish to end the program. I can use the ugly END to kill it but that is not the right way to do it, I am trying to find out how to kill it gracefully.

you cant finish a procedure even using do events if you try to kill it parent..
you will always stuck with this unless you use a flag on your class, that way when you cancel you turn this variable true and then you can wacth after the do event if the user cancel, then you cancel your procedure and can stop the process...
