I am trying to debug a long code I wrote and I need to step line by line.
The thing is I am on a mac and don't know how to use an F8 in that case. Could anyone tell me how can I do that otherwise and how do I know which line is causing problems with execution?
To check which line is giving you the error, you can use the ERL
property. See this sample code below.
Sub sample()
Dim i As Long
On Error GoTo Whoa
10 Debug.Print "A"
20 Debug.Print "B"
30 i = "Sid"
40 Debug.Print "A"
50 Exit Sub
Whoa:
MsgBox "Error on Line : " & Erl
End Sub
For this to work, you will have to number the code lines as I have done above. Run the above code and see what happens.
Sub Main()
Dim lNum As Long
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
lNum = 1 / 0
ErrExit:
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
Debug.Print Err.Description
Stop
Resume
End Sub
When you get to Stop, then Step Into twice. If you don't have F8, you should have a menu item for stepping into a line. Resume will take you back to the line that caused the error.
