>Hello,
>I am designing an application that continuously runs through a loop looking for new records on SQL Server. Whenever I seem to get into the loop, however, it seems that it is "stuck" in there and I cannot do anything else on the form. What I would like to do is place a checkbox that can be checked and the loop will stop on the next pass. Is there a way that the loop can run, but I can still do stuff on the form, such as checking the stop box?

You may want to write an SP or Trigger that will create a message in MSMQ rather than constantly polling the server. There are other ways you can notify from SQL also.
