form debug 1

[and0b]

Hi!

I'm new in MsAccess. Firend asked me to fix him some MsAcces application - add small code to the form. I added button to the form, wrote a code and now I trying to test it but I cannot run this form! I tried to debug it, by using F8 - step into, but it does not work. When I try to use run option from menu it is trying to run som macro, can someone help me little bit with this problem?
Thanks!

Please post the code you added.

I already took it away, there is now only message box, but problem is not in the code itself but in debugging the form. In VB or VFP you can run any form during design time and test its functions, with F8 key you can step into code and run it line by line, or with F5 you can run code to the cursor and line by line thereafter. In MsAccess none of that is working. F8 id doing nothing and F5 is trying to run macros.

In Access you can just open the form as normal to test it. There is no DEBUG mode per se as in VB that i know of. If Access bugs out, it will autoswitch you to code view and you can also set breakpoints to stop at certin points on your own as in VB.
