>Forgive me I am new to VFP. Whenever I run the debugger I am able to trace the app within the current object but when that object goes out of scope I can no longer trace code execution. What's going on here and how do I get around it. Thanks :)

That's very strange. Are you sure that all of your classes are compiled with debugging info, and that they are in the FoxPro path when the ap is running?
