breakpoint - no data in variables

[barret bonden]

Access 2003 : while debugging (setting breakpoints and such) I used to be
able to see the value of variables by running
my mouse over them; very useful it was, too. This now seems not to be
working ! Did I throw a switch without knowing ?
How to turn that back on ?

That should work in break mode, if the window has focus, and nothing else is
wrong.

It may not work if a timer is running.

You can always open the Immediate Window (Ctrl+G), and ask about a variable,
e.g.:
? var1

Or you can use the Watch or Locals window (View menu, in the code window.)
