One of the things I have always missed from VB6 days is that whilst I am
debugging code which writes to my form, I could always task switch to the
form and see the results as I went. With VB.Net you just get an hour glass
over a completely blank screen. I was hoping the VB 2005 would be better but
it isn't. Why is this? Why can't it be like it was in VB6 days?

You can not see the screen because since you are in debug mode and the
code has stopped the program can not run the Paint code.

So why did it work in VB6? What is different?

VB6 didn't allow you to do painting yourself. You can override the
onpaint event or override the paint method and do whatever you want in
them. In vb6 you didn't have this control, so the system would still
run the paint events even if debug. Now your thread that is stopped
can't run the painting.

If you've stopped the code via a breakpoint then resize your code form and
the exe form so that they both appear on your screen at the same time
without overlapping. Your exe form will be blank. In the code form, type
application.doe vents() in the Immediate Window. Hey presto! Your exe form is
now populated.
If your code is running and the exe form is blank then just add
application.doe vents() statements to your code after anything that changes
the exe form's appearance.
Cheers,
Greg.

When type 'application.do events' in the immediate window I get
'DoEvents' is not a member of 'MyApplication'

If I include System.Windows. Forms.Applicati on.DoEvents() then, yes it does
take it OK. However, now I can't get to the form at all! (I'm using VB2005

Hi Folks,
I have an Access 2K form that includes a normally hidden subform
linked in the normal way. For many months it ran perfectly and it
still does except for one thing -- when we switch to datasheet view,
the subform is expanded and visible for every record even if the
subform was invisible at the moment of the view switch. This just
recently started happening and I am clueless about why.
Anyone have advice on this phenomena?

I have a form which has as its recordsource an SQL string. The SQL

this ensures that there is no data loaded in the form when the form is

want the form to be rebound to its recordsource.
