You will need to add a boolean to you WHILE loop.

Do While (X > 10) And Not(blnCancelPressed)
' some code
DoEvents
Loop



The (X > 10) must be replaced by your condition. Then when the cancel button is pressed, set the blnCancelPressed to true, so you will exit the loop. Then after the loop, check if they pressed cancel, and exit. This must only be done if further processing comes after the loop. Make sure that blnCancelPressed is accessible from the two functions, so add it to the general declaration section of the module/form.

' Cancel Button
private Sub cmdCancel_Click()

blnCancelPressed = true

End Sub

private Sub SomeSub()

blnCancelPressed = false

Do While (X > 10) And Not(blnCancelPressed)
' some code
DoEvents
Loop

If blnCancelPressed then Exit Sub

' Some Other Processing

End Sub
