Hi Marcia,

> Are you telling me that you always write bug-free code and have never had to figure out why something in your program wasn't working as it should be?

He wasn't saying that. <s> There are many ways to debug code. Normally, the debugger is the most efficient one, but that doesn't mean that other techniques are completely useless. Depending on the environment it might be hard to debug in the VFP IDE, for instance, when you encrypt files or the application. Some application environments depend on being executed in the runtime version. You often have to add code to your application to be able to run in the IDE, for instance, when you rely on _VFP.ServerName.
