I have a question regarding this.

What does the code window break point function do and how does it work?

-thanks-

The Break Point function will halt your code at the line where the break point is. It is used for debugging (a bit like the STOP statement, but doesnt remain in the code between instances of vb).
You can also set expressions on each break point that must be TRUE for the BP to stop the code (ie. expression "i>10" will only halt code when i is greater than 10).

suggest you search the MSDN for debugging vb applications.

Hope this helps,

My first answer was not very nice (he ,he)

Here is a good tutorial on debugging. (written by Billso)

Yes, that is all very helpful! i follow all of that procisely.

I am doing a lot of debugging actually, so i'm glad you mentioned that the break point function is used for that - i'm finally making some progress on whatever it is that i think i am doing.

thanks again.
