Stop

Suspends execution.

Syntax:

Stop

Stop statements can be placed anywhere in procedures to suspend execution. Using the Stop statement is similar to setting a breakpoint in the code.

The Stop statement suspends execution, but unlike End, it doesn’t close any files or clear variables, unless it is in a compiled executable (.exe) file.

Example

This example uses the Stop statement to suspend execution for each iteration through the For…Next loop.

Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To 10 ' Start For...Next loop.
    Debug.Print i ' Print i to the Immediate window.
    Stop ' Stop during each iteration.
Next i
