Runtime error debugging
-
Hi, At my work, I have to test a Visual Basic application. I don't have the code source. Often I get runtime errors. When I get one, I try to understand what is the cause before I contact the developer. Often it is a runtime error. I want to know if a tool can give information about such errors without having access to the code source. Any suggestions? Thanks, Claude

In an ideal world, you'd have a file, generated by the app in debug mode, that mentions all the steps that you took before the exception occurred. That way they have the steps to reproduce the bug. ..and it might be caused by something totally unrelated :) Have you considered requesting the code? What is the app created with? In .NET we call them usually exceptions, I'd associate a "run time error" more with classic VB.
