Error doesn't happen in debug mode

I am running some code that always returns 0 (which means error) in run-time
but returns the correct values when in debug mode. Any thoughts as to why
this might be happening?

Thanks in advance.
 
Isn't this a bit like phoning the doctor and asking 'Doc, what's wrong with
me?'

Even your description - the code always returns 0, could refer to a
calculation within your code rather than your code itself.

Here's a just couple of things which don't show up in Debug, just to get you
started.

If the code runs within a form or report your code may refer to the contents
of a parent or subform form and you have the wrong name for the parent form
or the wrong name for the control within the subform.

You are trying to perform a calculation which involves a field which may
sometimes contain null or you have NZ'd a null field so that it appears to
contain numbers but actually contains text values (the field appears left,
instead of right-aligned unless you specifically format it to left-align).

Evi
