Can this be used for outlook's code?

Would be nice to have some debugging abilities besides msgbox "Blah!"

It seems like it wants to read html files only & from
internet explorer no less...

I ponder if companies will realize everyone has not jumped
on the lame "my god we gotta have a web page" syndrome.

Can you give us some 'quick start' instructions.
As how to switch back and forth between the debugger and Outlook code
editor ?

So once installed we can use the code editor in Outlook ?
And use STOP in VBScript2 ?
Cool ! I'll give it a try.

Well ... MS pulled the debugger off their Web site a month or two ago.
They claim that the reason was to update it for IE4.0. Personally, I can't
understand the reasoning behind this. The point is that most people do not
know that a VBScript debugger exists.

Now if I could just find a standalone Object Browser ...
