IDE mode and EXE Mode

[Maii]

Hi,
Is there any property/Method to distinguish where app is running from source code or EXE?
Thanks in advance

I use this routine (don't remember who to credit it to - doh!):

Public Function IsDebugMode(Optional bSetMode As Boolean = False) As Boolean

Static DebugMode As Boolean
DebugMode = bSetMode
If Not DebugMode Then Debug.Assert IsDebugMode(True)
IsDebugMode = DebugMode

End Function

I've seen others that check for the name of the program, use debug.print 1/0 (divide by zero) and trap the error, but this one will work properly even with trapping all errors mode selected (the divide by zero won't) in the IDE.

I tend to use the following. Not sure why you would want to but you can simulate debug mode when running the exe (C:\Project1.exe -DEBUG)

In the project/properties/make set a command line argument say -DEBUG

'In a code module:-

Public IsDebugMode As Boolean

'In main or startup form:-

IsDebugMode = IIf(InStr(Command, "-DEBUG") > 0, True, False)
    
'As required:-
If IsDebugMode Then MsgBox "debug.mode"
