    Setting that does not allow breakpoints in functions on forms?

    I am placing a breakpoint within a function that runs after an update. The function runs, but the break does not happen. Is there some setting that can be adjusted that allows this to happen?

    Put some msgs or debug.prints in the function to see what is happening.

    Does that mean the function never gets run??

    Can you expand on nothing? What did you do?
    Want to show the code where you call the function, and the statements you've added to your function?

    Can't remember exactly where it is in 2003, but either in Tools/Options or Tools/Startup are some advanced options that if memory serves can cause this.

    I looked it up...

    In the start up settings, you need to have "Use Access Special Keys" ticked.
