I'm fairly green to MS Access. I have been given the resposibility of supporting a huge application which includes over 150 forms. I'm trying to figure out what is happening by stepping through the code.
When I step through the code of one form but get to the point where it opens another form, the stepping stops.

Will access step through various code without having to set breakpoints all over the place?
If I have to set breakpoints allover, is there a way I can easily set breakpoints at all subs within a the code of each form?
Hope I'm making myself clear .... I'm not too familiar with the terminology ... I'm a mainframe programmer used to having lots of tools.
Thanks, Sawsheen
 
No documentation?

For a db that large, it seems like the designer would have to create documentation... no?

"90% of the problem is asking the right question.
 
there is very little documentation ... only for the user i.e. in this field .... etc

there is some documentation in the code but very little ... certainly not enough to help me support it.
 
How are ya sawsheen . . . . .

This happens sometimes depending on the code thats executing. However [blue]if your single-stepping[/blue], [purple]you should see a Visual Basic tab on the TaskBar[/purple]. Just click it and [blue]you should go right back[/blue] where you can continue to single step.
