Thanks Dave,
Yes, I have been using the <cfoutput> method of debugging but there always
the times where certain values are being set and your are not sure if all
the proper code is being executed. Stepping through the stack is helpful.
But your right the interactive debugger needs some improvement.
Happy New Year

Unfortunately, the interactive debugger can be a bit difficult to deal with.
It's a little more complex in its setup than traditional debuggers, which
debug code running on the developer's machine. The interactive debugger uses
the RDS client to connect to a CF server, then send instructions to that
server to stop at the breakpoints you've set, etc.
You might find this presentation useful. It covers using the interactive
debugger, among other things:

In my opinion, though, just debugging manually, by placing CFOUTPUTs and
CFABORTs in your pages to diagnose specific problems, is easier and more
helpful.
