>>I have a button within a pageframe that has a lot of code in it's click method. Including some rather lengthy select statments. The problem is when I try to trace through the code the debugger will only go so far then it will stop tracing. Every time I hit F8 in the debugger it continues to execute the next line it just won't show what line it's executing. This makes it really hard to debug.

Then you need to make sure that it happens on other forms and other machines. It is extremely difficult (impossible?) for anyone here to try and determine what the cause of this might be without knowing more specifics, and without having steps to reproduce the problem.

Thanks for the advice. I'll definatly try to reproduce the problem per your suggestions. And I'll also stop using _tally. I just hope it isn't to unrealiable because I've used it alot.
