As a Delphi programmer, I'm sincerely trying to adapt to VBA, I really
am.

But, I've got this workbook. I work on it in various versions of
Excel, but right now it's Excel 97 SR2.

First, I set a break point on the first line of code in a function I
wrote. The function is called by referencing it in a cell. E.g., cell
A1 contains "=MyUDF(xxx)".

If I edit cell A1, then exit editing mode, focus jumps to the VBA
environment with execution paused on my break point. Fine. Next I add
a watch point.

If I add, say, watch expression "Application", then, as lovable
Hungarian character actor S. Z. Sakall said in "Christmas in
Connecticut" (1945), "Ev'rysing is hunky-dunky".

But if I so much as add an expression beginning with
"Application.Caller", e.g. "Application.Caller",
"Application.Caller.Address" or something like that, it's Bombs Away
for Excel 1897.

(And if you saw my other recent post, you know I'm having to do my
work amid Excel 97's crashing every time two or more merged cells
happen to show up on row 2841. No joking.)

So, I mean, what's y'all's opinion? Is Excel VBA a stable product, or
is it ... an EDSEL?

Thanks.
