I am using Access 2002. None of the breakpoints work. The execution just
continues as if they weren't thwere. Even putting a STOP in the code doesn't
work. I can't get it to step into the procedure and I can't watch variables.
It makes it very difficult to debug. Anybody have any ideas. I have this db
on a flash draive and I have the same problem in three different locations
but all the same version of Access.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Paul

In the regular User Interface (not the VBE): Tools>Startup: make sure "Use
Special Keys" is *checked* while you are still in development.

If unchecked, the program ignores anything that would take you to the Code
or Immediate windows. Check out the Help entry re: AllowSpecialKeys
property for a little more info.
