   You can create a sub such as..   
      
   Sub myDebug(mystr$)   
   dim f$   
   f$ = App.Path & "\debug.txt"   
   Open f$ for append as # 1   
     print #1, mystr$   
   Close   
   End Sub   
      
      
   And call this routine to write out "markers where you're at in the program.   
   For example   
      
   Call myDebug("In sub MAIN getting preferences")   
   Call myDebug("Getting user network ID..")   
      
   Reading user settings..   
   etc.. etc..   
      
   Examining the file will give you an idea how far you get and where the   
   program may have issues..
