Break points not responding

[Alejandro]

Good morning,

I'm trying to find errors in my code and for some reason the break points
are not working. I add a breakpoint, run the code, and I get an error message
in a line way below the breakpoint. What should I be checking for to make
sure breakpoints work? I already went to Tools->Startup and made sure all
checkboxes were checked off. What else do I need to do?

Thanks for your help!

The debugger can run fine. If you stop point is inside a loop (whatever kind
of loop, of an if then else part) which is not executed. then, it can stop
on an error geographically below your stop point:

if test then
* stop point here
end if
+ your_code_stops_here_in_error



is quite possible if the test evaluates to false.

Put a break point at the first statement of that area of code (more than
likely a sub or function). If it doesn't stop there you have a problem. My
guess is, like Michel said, you're simply not getting to the code that has
the breakpoint. If it does stop at the new breakpoint at the beginning of the
code, step through the code one statement at a time to see where your problem
is.

Thanks for your responses, guys. Actually I had the break point at the top of
the code. I compacted and repaired the file and now it works.

Thanks!

I recall having a few strangenesses myself so I've been using Stop
statements.
