Hello,

I know this is a beginner's question...but for the life of me I can't figure
this out.

I did something (not sure what) and the window in the debugger that would
show me the value of the variables as I stepped through the code has
disapeared.

I tried View-> LocalsWindow and nothing pops up. No where...it just
basically does nothing. I have no idea what I've done to get myself into
this state...and I REALLY need to see these values to debug! (I'm not the
best programmer...I'm an Engineer for goodness sake!)

Any help - tricks to try - pointers - would be GREATLY appreciated!

if it doesn't appear when you choose view - locals, maybe it's already
open & either hidden behind another toolbar, OR was manually made very
very small, or dragged down behind the windows toolbar.
i just tried that myself - undocked it, made it as tiny as possible, &
dragged it down behind the windows toolbar. was invisible & i
couldn't get at it till i closed down my windows toolbar (for a minute
there i thought i was screwed!).

I've been closing the VBA window and then re-open from the worksheet.

Susan, Thank you...This is exactly what happened. I fell a little silly for
freaking out so quickly but I'm thankful for your quick help. Now, I can
finish this project today -- hopefully!
