How to step through code

[David]

Quick question,
I have seen this solution noted many times, but how do I do this? I assume
it also works on code in an event (like ONCLICK).

Set a breakpoint on the Function "something". When you step
through the code line by line, does it work as you'd expect?

My method is to put msgbox "Step1" everywhere.

Set a breakpoint on the first line of the code procedure. Then step through
the code using the F8 key.

eeep!

MUCH harder than needed - you don't need to edit your code at all.

Open the VBA editor; edit the routine you wish to debug. With the
mouse, click in the vertical bar (looks like a scrollbar but isn't) on
the left side of the edit window. You'll get a red-brown circular dot
as a breakpoint.

When you run the code you can use the Debug... menu options to step
through - or (of course) their keyboard shortcuts. F8 singlesteps; see
the Debug dropdown for the other options.
