How to Speed Up Your Loops in Microsoft Access VBA

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will discuss how to speed up your loops in VBA by using SQL statements, updating the screen less often, asynchronous processing, and avoiding form controls in your loops.
Brooke from Hilliard, Ohio (a Platinum Member) asks: I've got a loop that [does stuff] however it's tremendously slow if I display a status on the screen. If I get rid of the status, then it runs much faster, but it still takes a few minutes to run, and I don't want the user to think the database is locked. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the great video, Richard! I didn't realize that screen writes slowed code down so much!

I was starting to worry that I wasn't going to see a new video. Every morning 6:30 a.m. my time. Watch the opening of the stock market and get my Tech Help fix...
