RSTools

    Rstools will help you find those elusive runtime errors that can be generated for any number of reasons. The most common reason is that since VB is an event driven application, events are not always fired exactly in the order you expect them to be and that can often cause your application to do things in an order you are not expecting. That can cause unexpected results and often does. The strength of RSTools is that it can help you trace each event and log the order of events so that you can look at the log and may possibly see that some events are out of order or never fired at all. The most devistating error is Runtime Error 336. What this basically means is that you are attemptting to do something to an object in a click event that is not allowed. Sometime you can get lost in the code and it will be hidden, but once you have the log it will be very visible that this is happening and you can correct it. The correction is usually to set a timer to call the function after the click event is done.

    When things go wrong in your app it is comforting to know that the code flow is as you planned and when it 's not; you can correct the situation, but first you must know it exist! This is where RSTools shines through.
