Step Through Code Problem

[tbl]

When I try to step through code (behind form) after setting
a breakpoint, a dialog titled "Macros" comes up wanting a
macro name.

I'm new to debugging and am totally baffled here.

If your code is in an event procedure, or in a function that requires
arguments, you can't just step into it. The form has to be open, not in
design view, and the event procedure has to either be triggered by its
event, or else explicitly called (maybe from the Immediate Window, but
even then the procedure has to be public, and accessed via a reference
to the instance of the form).

Short answer: set your breakpoint, then cause the event to fire.
