newbie needs help

Hi, y'all
I'm somewhat new at this, I took a VB course some 12-ish years ago and did some Acad/Inventor customizing, but I've forgotten some key stuff. Right now, my question is, in Acad vba, SOMETIMES, when I hold my cursor over a highlighted object in the code window, the "tag" will tell me the value of that object, and SOMETIMES it won't. How do I set vba so that it will ALWAYS give me the information?? Sorry if I'm not using the proper terminology for this stuff, but that's one of the things I've forgotten. Thanx.

Hi fasteddie,

Many variables do not have a single value, so when you hover the mouse
over them there is no logical priority as to which of the values should
be displayed. Microsoft resolved this by displaying none of them.

One option is to turn on the "Locals Window" which will display all the
variables in the current Sub/Function. You can click on the + symbol to
expand the items with multiple values.


Regards

Laurie
