I use F8 et al all the time, so it may just be how you're using it...
If you could find someone who knows VB in person to physically show you how to use it, you would probably learn alot.
yeah ... that's the ideal ....
but I know no one who has the slightest clue about progamming
on any level ... even the computer geeks are pretty much 'users' only. ;)
I may not have had the focus in the right window ... who knows.
but I did go look at the debug menu for that very reason ...
so I don't know what happened/didn't happen.
that's why I asked ...
so now that I know this is where it is 'supposed' to happen ...
that I am in the right place, I'll go ahead and invest the time
and energy to figure it out.
I just hate going down dead ends, you know?
so thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
I'll get it.
so ...
any other suggestions about how to track down where the
prog pushes venom >32000, once it breaks and I am in debug mode?
iow ... is there a way to move the focus to another modual
and then check out the value of the variables at that stage?
I'm still trying to figure out how rob(n).venom wouldn't have
aborted the program as soon as it was assigned that value
somewhere in the program ... rather than at the point it
does break, which is simply calling it up to store it in
rob(n).mem(825).
oh well ...
at least the bandaid does enable it to work.
