Debugging

[Guest]

Is there anyone out there who can tell me why stepping through my code
doesn´t work. Using Access 2003 I can toggle a breakpuint on but the debugger
doesn´t stop on the breakpoint.

Try a Compact and Repair (AFTER making a backup, of course). If that doesn't work, close and reopen Access; if that
doesn't work, restart your machine.

Are you expecting a breakpoint to stop execution when you are manually
executing each instruction? It stops on every instruction, executes it when
you take action, and then moves to the next instruction, where it stops.

If your code is executing blithely along and does not stop on a breakpoint,
the most common reason for Access not stopping on a breakpoint is the code
did not execute that statement.

If you have unchecked the Use Access Special Keys box on the Tools - Startup
option, breakpoints will have no effect.
