I'm sure you've all had this problem.

You're in a hurry, you quickly put together an idea and want to test an algorithm. just 10-15 lines of code or so, no interface because you just want to test the output to use in a proper app later.

You run it and find (for example) that an array was 1 based instead of zero based and your test goes into an infinite loop from the IDE.

Then, because VB can't recover you have to kill it and recode the F#$%*%G algorithm, because you were not writing a real app you didn't save it.

Just wondering if anyone has come up with any good work-around to this BUG in VB? a little function you could add in or something to allow a graceful exit.

(I hope the VB7 IDE can recover!, Borland C++ builder can, you just hit the stop button and it stops because it test the app in a different process to the IDE. VB IDE stalls and you can't hit the stop button)

????????????????????????????????????????????????
