fwiw, the Help:Debugger "Set WatchPoint" says it is (see below), but attempts to do so on NT4 are rebuffed with a "not supported on this configuration" error message. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- A watchpoint is a location or region of memory that the debugger guards. When a new value is written to a particular area of memory, the debugger suspends execution of the target program and notifies you with an alert. Variables or memory locations on which a watchpoint has been set are underlined in red in symbolics, variable, or memory windows. WARNING There are some significant restrictions to set watchpoints in memory. You cannot set a watchpoint on a stack-based local variable, or on a variable being held in a register. In addition, in Mac OS you cannot set a watchpoint in low memory or the system heap. To set a watchpoint from the Data menu: 1. Select a variable from the Variable window. The variable is highlighted. For details on viewing variables, see View variables or View local variables. 2. Choose Set Watchpoint from the Data menu. A Watchpoints window appears. You will see a red line (dotted line in Windows) under the selected variable in the Watchpoint Window indicating a watchpoint has been set for this variable. NOTE: You can customize the color of the marker indicating a set watchpoint by choosing Display Settings from the list of preferences panel in the IDE Preferences window. To set a watchpoint using drag-and-drop: 1. Select a variable from the Variable window. For details on viewing variables, see View variables or View local variables. 2. Choose Watchpoint Window from the Window menu. A Watchpoint window appears. 3. Drag the highlighted variable from the Variable Window to the Watchpoint Window. A red line (dotted line in Windows) appears under the selected variable in the variable window indicating that a watchpoint has been set. To set a watchpoint using Memory Window: 1. Choose View Memory from the Debug menu. 2. Select a range of bytes in the memory window. 3. Choose Set Watchpoint from the Debug menu. A red line (dotted line in Windows) appears under the selected variable in the Variable Window indicating that a watchpoint has been set. -- For information on using the ACCESS Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.access-company.com/developers/forums/
