clearing the immediate window

[Keith G Hicks]

I've looked into this and I find coding work arounds that I wouldn't expect
would be needed after so many years of MS Access. You can do Debug.Print to
put info in the immediate window but there doesn't seem to be anything like
Debug.Clear. Well that just seems truly odd but typically microsoft so I
figured I'd ask here to see if my findings are true.

Thanks,

Keith

Please read the subject of my post.

There's nothing to clear, why do you need it? or do you mean to clear the
immediate window?

Ctrl-A Backspace works for me. It's a debug window, not a user interface - a
bit of user hostility should be expected! <g>

Okay, here's why. I'm working on some code that puts a bunch of dates into
an array. Just before each date is put into the array I'm printing it into
the immediate window. Every time I rerun the code I want to clear the window
to see if the new list of dates make sense. I run it again, get a new set of
dates and then clear the window to rerun it for a new set of criteria. Gets
a little tiresome manually clearing the window. Would be very nice to just
put in a line of code at the start of the procedure to clear it out. I know
there's sample code out there that I can use in a fuction to do this and
taht's not a huge deal. Neither is it the end of the world to have to clear
it manually. Just would be nice if there were some very simple built in
function to do this. Apparently there's not. All I needed to know. Thanks
folks.
