breakpoint

[Justin]

when programming in my .adp project, I'm trying to debug some code with help
of a breakpoint (F9). But the program does not stop. I even put a msgbox "hi"
in there and put a breakpoint on that line. The msgbox will pop-up and say
"hi" as expected but does not stop on the line. Sometimes it does though and
sometimes it does not. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help.

you can use the 'Stop' VBA keyword in order to step through the code.

i usually do this instead of breakpoints; since i exit out of Access
(in order to save all my work) whenever i do _ANYTHING_ in access.

all because of that crappy A97 bug where Access doesnt save when you
make changes.

I'm afraid even the 'stop' keyword has no effect. The program is
unstoppable. The big question in my mind is WHY. what is so different about
..adps I have never had this problem before with either vb6 or .mdbs. My
installation of Office and Access 2003 (11.6355.6408) SP1 is extremely up to
date and freshly installed.

In the Tools -> Startup... options dialog, do you have a check mark next
to "Use Access Special Keys"? If you don't, breakpoints won't work.
