[AccessD] The VBA stop command quit working

 Yesterday, someone set me a .DOCX and I foolishly installed
 Microsoft's compatibility software, so I could read the DOCX.
 
 And of course, my Office 2000 started having problems, thus
 I de-installed the compatibility software.
 
 Well I develop mountains of VBA software.  I use the debug
 breakpoints and the stop command to get into some running
 module to work on various problems.
 
 Both the VBA STOP command, and the Debug breakpoints work
 no longer function.
 
 Is there some setting, or something, I can do to allow said
 features to work again in Access 2000 ?
 
 Thanks.
 
 Sincerely,
 Ed Zuris.
