OK - this is driving me a little crazy - so, figured someone here might have a suggestion. We have this shipment Packing modification program. And, for a particular client - they have been having problems with the UCC # - which was due to previous Bonehead programmers here Screwing up and not doing proper Record Locking - and if multiple users do the Packing - they clash and get the same stored UCC Seq #. BIG problem indeed - causing Major Chargeback issues. But, alas - I digress... I updated this program - with a bunch of code - not only to do proper Record Locking - but, also to check the shipment - if it already has the UCC #'s in it - and verify they are good and not used within another Shipment. I made a Ton of program changes, and compartmentalizing code into procedures. And - I pull all the code I worked on Out of the main procedure - and turned it all into sub-procedures. But, wouldn't you know it - the problem is happening in the main procedure. The program crashes and complains about an Index Tag. I really have no idea where in the code the problem is happening. I've tried stepping thru the code - but, the problem is - this shipment has nearly 800 Boxes - and its really not viable to use the Debugger and keep skipping thru code like that - for obvious reason. I even put in a Breakpoint - but, it never hits that spot in the code before it crashes. So - any advice/suggestions on what I should do to track down this Bug - without having to keep Stepping thru the code - since its Killing me...
