[AccessD] Call Stack in VBA?

This was the code for clsStack. Nothing Earth shattering...

Option Explicit

' A Stack implemented as a Collection
Dim modCollection As Collection

Private Sub Class_Initialize()
    Set modCollection = New Collection
End Sub

Private Sub Class_Terminate()
    Set modCollection = Nothing
End Sub

Sub Push(vItem As Variant)
    If modCollection.Count = 0 Then
        modCollection.Add vItem
    Else
        modCollection.Add vItem, , , modCollection.Count
    End If
End Sub

Function Pop() As Variant
    If modCollection.Count = 0 Then
        Pop = Null
    Else
        Pop = modCollection(modCollection.Count)
        modCollection.Remove modCollection.Count
    End If
End Function

Thanks Charlotte - I just checked the archives for clsStack, but no results
came back.

Do you have more information about what Lambert posted?

Thanks,
Dan

I don't know if you can get at the actual call stack, but you can use "push"
methods to write a line to a collection, an xmlfile or even a straight text
file and "pop" methods to remove the line after the call successfully
executes.  An error would result in the "pop" not being executed, giving you
a list of steps that got you to the error.  I used to do this years ago
based on an article written for A97 (I think) that I adapted to my own uses.
I created a CallStack class with push and pop methods, but it took a lot of
work to pass the name of each routine into the stack since Access didn't
give a simple method for retrieving the name of the procedure.  I finally
used a local constant, procName, in each routine and populated it when I
built the routine.  

Actually, searching back through my archives, I find that Lambert posted a
clsStack, which uses a collection, ages ago as well, so you might root
through the archives for more.

What a great idea! I hope someone has your answer. You're right, it would be
incredibly useful.
