IIRC, debugging is a restricted feature. Normally, you are supposed to debug on your development machine.

If you really need to do debugging on a client machine, it can be quite a pain in the acronym; you would need some workarounds, like showing information on screen, or write to a text-file, in strategic places. (A UDF for debugging might be dependent on the existence of a file, for instance; this would allow you to easily turn debugging on and off.)

An equivalent of ASSERT might be a UDF that checks for a certain condition, and gives an error message only if the condition is not fulfilled.

And so forth. You can place "debugging" commands (do assertions, show values of variables, etc.) in strategic places, but AFAIK, you don't have the availability of a full-featured debugger.

HTH,

Hilmar.
