Breakpoints on a Global

[Bob Sneidar]

Hi Phil. I cannot change the variable to a local because it is the array that contains the record data for the form I am using, so all objects have to be aware of it. 

You set a variable checkpoint either in the debugger, or by script. I'll be daggum if I remember the script command though.

Does anyone know a workaround for this? I am in desperate need of finding where an array is getting set to empty. For whatever reason tracing it has been extremely elusive.
