Viewing variable values

I have inherited a program with a large number of arrays declared in the General Declarations. I would like to look at the contents of these arrays. When stepping througn the program, they do not show up in the Locals window. Is there some way to make them do so?

Thanks

Roger

RE: Viewing variable values

Hi Roger

Thanks for getting in touch.

The Locals window certainly should show the values of arrays. You have specified that it's in the General Declarations area, so it is possible that they are not executed during the macro you happen to be stepping through?

Have you double-checked the variable is being populated at all? Perhaps try a MsgBox with the array name in? You could loop through the values to output the current values at some point in the code.

Sorry I can't help further at this point - try that out and see what happens.

Kind regards

RE: Viewing variable values


At the time I asked our local expert. He really is pretty good, but even he could not find the arrays. Anyway, since you said that they were supposed to be there I ran it on a different machine and there they were.
Strange things, computers.

Thanks for your help
