Don't suppose you have a 2nd machine ? If not, depending on what you want to debug, you could write log files and check your assumptions there.

VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 During last 10 years, with invention of VB and similar programming environments, every ill-educated moron became able to develop software. - Alex E. - 12-Sept-2002

Thank Christian Graus. I dont have 2nd machine, But,if I have a 2nd monitor,can I debug it without writing log files? Could you give me more hints?

Either use remote debugging, via a second machine, or make the debug version display at a smaller resolution than the screen (say 600x400), not topmost, and not dismissable via mouse/keyboard/active window/etc. Regards, Larry Antram Stardust Software "Those who choose to sacrifice freedom in order to gain security shall not have, nor do they deserve, either one" -- Benjamin Franklin

If you do some painting in your Screensaver than you can 'OutputText' there. Try it @ home. (~B&B)
