For years, I have longed for a way to save and restore breakpoints in
VB6. Just now, I had another case of "Aaaaargh! There go my 79
breakpoints!" (I use them for specific whitebox testing). A search on
the web revealed a few threads here and there that mention "add-ins"
which allow breakpoints to be saved and restored. But no actual links
to any useful pages.

Somehow I think these threads are only there to tease me.

So, ARE there any add-ins that add a save/restore feature for
breakpoints (if it also does bookmarks, then it would truly be the
bee's knees, and various other animal extremities!).


There at least used to be. Can't tell you if any of them are still available
or for that matter how well they worked (never used 'em myself).

However, if you need to preserve "breakpoints", I recommend you add
Debug.Assert statements into your code. You can also use the Stop statement
to enter into break mode, but you must be very (VERY) careful to remove them
because Stop statements will terminate your compiled program, whereas
Debug.Assert statements don't even get compiled (with one exception, consult
VB's Help for more info).
