How to debug your code by dhookom
faq705-7148
Posted: 9 Mar 09

Few if any of us write code that is accurate and logical 100% of the time. If your code doesn't work as expected, you need to be able to debug it.

For instance, if one of the early lines of your code is:

CODE

   stQueryName = Me.[cmbQueryName]
and it doesn't seem to be working correctly, you have at least three options for trouble-shooting.

Adding a breakpoint is as simple as clicking in the vertical bar to the left of a line of executable code.

CODE

|o|  stQueryName = Me.[cmbQueryName]
The code will stop running and allow you to hover the mouse over a variable to see its value. You can press [F8] to step through the code a line at a time. [F5] will run to the end of the procedure.

The following will put the value in the debug window:

CODE

   stQueryName = Me.[cmbQueryName]
   Debug.Print "stQueryName: " & stQueryName
You can press Ctrl+G to open the debug window to view the results of the statement.

The following will stop the code execution and display the value in a message box:

CODE

   stQueryName = Me.[cmbQueryName]
   MsgBox "stQueryName: " & stQueryName
