Is your code stuck on a perpetual loop in Access? Want to easily debug your code when you put in MSGBOX's ?
For most normal people, you just press ctrl-break on your keyboard.
BUT... If you have a Microsoft Surface Pro (which I love except for this), there is no BREAK key on the attached keyboard.
Of course, if you are reading this, you know that you can use the OSK (On Screen Keyboard), but... that doesn't have the BREAK key either.
Google/ChatGPT everything and they will say to hit the Pause key, Function/Ctrl/Pause, even Function-Atl-B
Guess what? none of that works. Very frustrating.
But I finally, figured it out. You have to press down the CTRL key (on the physical keyboard) then DOUBLE-CLICK the Pause key on the OSK!
You are welcome.
