The "Show Macros..." dialog shows a "Debug" button and the script text windows of the XMLSpyFormEditor allow to set a Breakpoint for specific code lines.

If I click on this "Debug" button only the default debugger of my PC is launched - but that's all.

This worries me - is there a debugger in the scripting environment at all? Also the help file is mute on this topic.

Any hints welcome

Hi!

Debugging is indeed supported using an external script debugger. If there is no suitable debugger installed on your system you can download the Microsoft Script Debugger from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/details.aspx?familyid=2F465BE0-94FD-4569-B3C4-DFFDF19CCD99&displaylang=en

But there is no built-in debugger in the scripting environment.

Hope this helps!
