Hi Andy

Thanks for that - I have made it to work now. sorry it took so long for
me to get the hang of it

Tim

PS I enjoyed the graph sessions you did at the recent Excel User
conference - it was a tour de force!

Hi Tim,

Did you try the CTRL+F9 keyboard short cut?
If you move the text cursor back up the code you can step back to the
line where the cursor now is and use F8 to step forward again.

Cheers

Hi to all

Many thanks for the suggestions.

However, the thing I am trying to do is drag the yellow cursor typically
up the code and it just does not "work" on the laptop - the step options
are not a complete solution because I often want to drag the yellow
point UP the code to run thru it again, using F8 etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Tim

Maybe you can use the keyboard.

After you've started stepping through the code, click on Debug on the
toolbar.

You'll see some options with their corresponding keyboard shortcuts.

Hi

I am editing and debugging code in the editor on a LAPTOP. The problem
is
that using the left button touchpad mouse I am not able to drag the
yellow
pointer in "step-through" mode. All that happens when I press the left
button is that I get a new break-point. Apart from getting a
conventional
mouse, is there a tip or workaround, please?

Many thanks

Tim
