call stack option greyed out

Hello
I was looking at my callstack window a moment ago, and now when i try to activate it again, it is greyed out. so is the step out on the debug options

why is that?

My first guess would be that you have a hard syntax error some where in your code.

That's why we always START WITH FULL COMPILE (there is also an option for making this the default). It would immediately find the syntax error and not let the program run in that state.

I can't remember how to get the call stack I think that I got it once before, but I don't remember where I got it from. It would have come in handy today. I had a form that kept getting activated behind a smaller form. Finally I put a hide event in the activate event. It worked. Still, it's probably wasting cycles somewhere. I dont' know where. I had about 8 different hide statements that didn't catch it.

you have to set a breakpoint in a proceedure for it to become active when the code breaks

I can do that, but don't get how to see the actual stack, or to reverse the code sequence. Never mind. I googled it, and found Cntrl-L. I'll have to remember that.
