Breakpoints Not Working?

Hello all!
I'm having a problem with breakpoints in certain dbs.
Does anyone know what would stop breakpoints from
working? I made sure that SetWarnings were on using a
macro and they still don't work. Could this be a security
issue or anything else? Breakpoints work for me in other
dBs without security.
Any insight is greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Joe
 
Not sure of your experience level nor how you know your breakpoint are not
working.... I too thought they weren't working in my db till I figured out
what was going on. For reference, the context of my experience: All of my
code is in VB; I make no usage of macros.

1. If you don't hit the breakpoint, it doesn't break. (Sounds patronizing
and stupid doesn't it?) I thought I knew what my logic was doing, but in
reality it was doing something else. Setting an earlier breakpoint showed
this to me.

2. Compile errors were causing breaks before I got to my break points. This
happened even thought the compile error was past my logical breakpoint.
Running a test Compile off the debug menu showed me those problems.

My point is, try to get out of the mindset your are in and come at your
problem from a different perspective. Things may not be as they seem..

Group: Anyone else want to jump in here?

Sounds like my experience, too! I was CERTAIN the logic was running and the
breakpoint was failing, but an earlier breakpoint showed that the logic
never got to the 'point in question.

Hey guys! I tried what you suggested and I still can't
use breakpoints in certain DBs. The weird thing is: if I
run a module with breakpoints in another DB, the
breakpoints work. However, when I import/run this module
in the problematic DBs they do not work. Throwing a
dialog box in works. Could this be a security setting in
the problematic DBs? Thanks again.
 
Or a subtly corrupt db... Have you opened a new, empty .mdb file and
imported all objects?

Give it a try, and see if the problem persists.

Good luck

I'm feeling stupid again, but when you import a module into your db, do you
expect that the breakpoint toggle setting is imported too? I would expect a
need to reset the toggle after importing.
Maybe I don't understand what you mean by "import/run" ?
