You could set a variable to Now before the loop starts, and then within the
loop check Now against that variable le, and if it exceeds a pre-set amount
of time, terminate the loop.

I have a macro that loops and within the loop produces and
emails a variety of workbooks. The process can take 15-20
minutes. Is there a graceful way to interrupt the loop at
a set interval other than pressing the escape key and
hoping for the best.

Thank you
