seeking to watch instantiation

[Neil23]

I'm making some modifications to a convoluted VFP6 system (ACCPAC Pro 6.5). It turned out that my method was crashing because it wasn't attached to the right object, so the variables weren't there.

But the object is something created on the fly at instantiation/initialization; I don't know where from. So I want to set a breakpoint at creation, when EXISTS changes from .F. to .T., to see where it is.

I haven't been able to find a way to do this.
It looks like PEMSTATUS( , ,5) ought to help, but I haven't been able to get it to work either. (That is, I put it into the Watch window in Debug, andit "could not be evaluated".)

How can I find where this is being instantiated to find out where to put my changes?

TIA,
Neil

Set a break point on "INIT" $ UPPER(PROGRAM())"

You'll pause for every init method, but just resume. Once you've found the right init, examine the call stack.
