Create a public property in Form2 called Cancel.

Public Property Get Cancel() As Boolean
    Cancel = fblnCancel
End Property

In your cancel button Click event, set the variable to true.

Private Sub cmdCancel_Click()
    fblnCancel = True
End Sub

In Form1, use this code in your processing routine:

Private Sub LongProcess()

    ' The combination of these two commands will simulate a modal dialogue
    Form1.Enabled = False    ' disable the main form
    Form2.Show , Form1    ' show the progress form

    ' The main routine
    Do While Form2.Cancel = False
        ' Do your processing here
    Loop

    ' Always put things back the way you found them
    Unload Form2
    Set Form2 = Nothing
    Form1.Enabled = True
End Sub

Re your problem.  I don't know if what I am suggesting is easier, but it is much
more standard.

Have the process run on a seperate thread from the calling process.  This will
allow you the flexibility to continue other operations in the program and allow
you to kill the thread if the user chooses cancel.

Not real easy to do and is definitely a mouthful for the uninitiated, but
multi-threaded applications are standard and have been used for a while to
accomplish just what you want.

Best of luck to you!
