Can anyone tell me how to navigate from one bookmark to the next in
the VB6 IDE. I have been using VB for many years and never used the
bookmark feature before. Trying to use it today I can not find how to
navigate from one bookmark to the next...which makes the whole idea of
bookmarks a bit useless.

Also is there any way to save the bookmarks so that they can be
restored when I close the IDE then reopen it later?

Thanks,
Steve

Right-click the far left column, and "toggle Bookmark"
Note you can also customize the Edit Toolbar to make navigation
easier.

No.

There were supposeably some Add-ins that provided this ability, but
they never worked (at least for me).

You might check out MZTools
http://www.mztools.com/v3/mztools3.aspx
[A manditory tool kit, if you aren't using it already.]
Which provides an alternative scheme for tracking procedures of
interest.

I often use a scheme where I just insert 'tagged' comments, such as
' @dev - here
' @dev - there
' @bm - validity check starts
' @bm - validity ends
etc.
Then just use the search function
You can rapidly toggle your way around.

And while you didn't ask - you can easily preserve BreakPoints by use
of the Assert statement.
Debug.Assert False

Oooo, a challange. I'm putting that one on my "let's see if I can do it"
to-do list. <g>

Wow. I just learned a new trick. Thanks :-)
