Viewing Data Tips in the Module Window

When you've interrupted a procedure that is running and you are viewing code in the Module window, you often want to know the current value of the variables you see. To find out the value of any variable or constant in the procedure that is currently running (the procedure with the yellow current statement indicator), rest the mouse pointer on the variable or constant. Microsoft Access displays a Data Tip directly underneath the variable or constant telling you its current value.

While Data Tips are the easiest way to find out a variable's current value, they probably won't serve all your debugging needs. To view values of several variables or expressions at once, or to view objects and their properties, use the Debug window as described later in this chapter.
