Ok... can i make a loop when you press command1 and then have it stopped when you press command2.

I'm not worried about any lagg or w/e... but i'm curious if this works. I dought it'll lagg since i have two processors, but jw if this is possible.

Yes, you can

'declare variable
Dim StopLoopFlag as boolean

Private Sub cmdStart_Click()

StopLoopFlag = True
do while StopLoopFlag 
     Do your things....
     DoEvents
loop

End Sub



Private Sub cmdStop_Click()

     StopLoopFlag = false

End Sub
