There are other usefull goodies, drop down the debug menu and have a look.

after you set your break point and the program stops on it use the f8 key to step line by line until you see your program go to your error trap

Hi,

First of all, I apologize if i didn't manage to reply if i able to use any methods that you guys guide me. I really appreaciate whatever information that you guys given.

For your info, i drop down the debug menu, which i can see shortcut key from there like 'F8'. Can i see the value store in my variable as well? Like i have a variable : Dim s_str As String, so during my debug procedure, is there anyway i can see what value is storing in s_str?

Thanks a lot for the reply.

You can do in a number of ways. I am usually using the watch window. while you have broken the execution of the program, highlight the variable you wish to monitor, right-click on it and select the "add watch" command. This will bring up a window with the name of the variable. click ok and another window will open on the bottom of the IDE showing you the variable you selected, its value and some more info. You can add as many watches as you want.

You can also hover over the string and see the current value, or click into the Immediate/Debug/Immediate window (VIEW|IMMEDIATE WINDOW) and copy the variable name there as:

?s_str

and with the cursor at the end of the string name, hit ENTER.
