Great!

I'll give this a try.

I wonder if he posted it on the L list?  Anyhow, here's the code:

' Code starts - save as a Class module named clsStack
'###################################
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit

' A Stack implemented as a Collection
'Example:
'   Sub testStack()
'   Dim stack As New clsStack
'   Dim n As Integer
'   Dim r As Variant

'    stack.Push 1
'    stack.Push "One"
'    stack.Push 2
'    stack.Push "Two"
'    For n = 1 To 5
'        r = stack.Pop
'        If IsNull(r) Then
'            Debug.Print "Stack empty"
'        Else
'            Debug.Print r
'        End If
'    Next n
'    Set stack = Nothing
'   End Sub


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.
