PPT97: Expressions Added to Watch Aren't Saved in Presentation

Last reviewed: December 2, 1997
Article ID: Q161595

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft PowerPoint 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When opening an existing PowerPoint macro in the Visual Basic Editor, you may notice that your previously-defined watch expressions are missing.

CAUSE

This happens because the watch expressions are not saved in the presentation file. You must redefine the needed expressions for each macro editing session.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

The watch window is one of the debugging tools provided by the Visual Basic Editor. You can add expressions or variables to the watch window to monitor value changes during execution of a macro. The feature is most commonly used when stepping through source code.
