Using the Call Stack Window
You have learned how to set breakpoints, step through and over code, use the Immediate window, set the next line to be executed, and continue to run until you reach the next breakpoint. When you reach a breakpoint, it often is important to see which functions the code called to bring you to this point. This is where the Calls feature can help.To bring up the Call Stack window, click the Call Stack button on the toolbar or choose View, Call Stack. The window in Figure 15.11 appears. If you want to see the line of code that called a particular function or subroutine, double-click that particular function or click the function and then click Show. Although Access does not move your execution point to the calling function or subroutine, you are able to view the code within the procedure. If you want to continue your code execution, press F8. You move back to the procedure through which you were stepping, and the next line of code executes. If you press F5, your code executes until it reaches another breakpoint or watch. If you want to return to where you were without executing additional lines of code, choose Debug, Show Next Statement.
