Contains options for stepping through code. You can also set the speed at which commands are executed as you watch.
Do
Begins executing the program open in the Trace window. If no program is open in the Trace window, displays the Do dialog box so you can specify a program or form to trace. The program or form you specify is executed with program execution suspended at the first line of executable code.
Resume
Available if program execution is suspended. Continues execution of the program in the Trace window at the current line of code.
Cancel
Closes and stops executing the program or form in the Trace window.
Fix
Available if program execution is suspended.
If you are tracing through a program, Fix prompts you to cancel the program and then opens it in an editing window, at the same position that the cursor is in the Trace window.
If you are tracing through code in a form, Fix prompts you to cancel execution and clear the form object from memory. Then an editing window in the Form Designer opens at the same position that the cursor is in the Trace window.
Step Out
Continues executing the code in a procedure without stepping through the code line by line. Program execution is suspended again on the line of code following the procedure call in the calling program.
Step Over
Executes the next line of code. If the next line of code calls a function, method, or procedure, then the function, method, or procedure is executed in the background.
Step Into
Executes the next line of code.
Run To Cursor
Executes code from the current line indicator to the line of code with the cursor. Click the line of code you want to suspend execution on to place the cursor on that line.
Throttle
Opens the Execution Throttle dialog box so you can specify the delay in seconds between the execution of each line of code.
Set Next Statement
Places the current line marker on the line of code with the cursor. This line of code will then be executed when you step or resume execution.
