I've got several loops where I discover midway through the loop that I don't
want to process the remaining commands before the "Loop" or "Next" at the
end of the loop. I DO NOT want to exit the loop -- just increment the
counter and process the next loop for next incremented variable.

I know that variables such as "i" in For i = 1 to 100 can be incremented
mid-loop, but this is not advisable.

Is there a way to skip to the bottom of a loop without using a GoTo
statement? Or is that the only way?

The Exit For command is no good because I want to continue processing the
remaining elements, not end the loop.

TIA

Try a Do While loop

n = 1
Do While n < 100
n = n + 1
If something Then
n = NewValue
etc.
End If
Loop

Hi Steve,

Possibly, one way:

Dim blOk as Boolean

For i = 1 to 100

blOk = True
If ConditionTrue Then
'Do something
Else
BlOk =false
End If

'Processing code

If blOK then
'More processing
End if

Next i

The usual aproach is to use an IF:

For i = 1 to 10
if (things are good) then
yada yada yada
Yada Yada yada
else
endif
next

This will actually skip to the end of the For, but allow it to keep iterating.

just use an if...then block to wrap the code you might want to skip, and
test for the "skip" condition in that block.
