Cannot Debug Code

[progirl]

I am just getting back into Access, I am trying to work with an inhouse Access Database System, Access 2002, XP.

Please note I have yet to do anything with this system but to print out the tables and code.

Problem: I can get to the code behind one of the forms, but I can edit it, whenever I choose any of the Debug Features nothing happens, it's as though I did not select anything to do.

Suggestions?

You have to set up a break point at the line of code you want to stop at and then trigger the event that runs the code.

Yes, that is if I want to have the execution of the code to stop at a particular line of code, but I can't even get the execution to start.

Really? Did you change the name of the controls? The name of the subs? Does the control's event property say [Event Procedure]? What about your security setting? Did you disable macros?

Which code do you want to start?
The code is usually started by triggering events from within the Access database itself (Opening forms, etc). If this is still not causing the code to work then you probably have your security (Tools / Macro / Security) set so that code cannot execute.
This setting is stored on the PC itself (rather than any particular database).
