Is there any way to invoke the VS Debugger when opening a form from a Sharpoint site? I can only get the debugger to invoke when creating a new form.

You should be able to attach the debugger to the application once its launched. This doesn't do much for OnLoad, but it should get you in if you need to debug other areas.

Thanks Greg, but maybe I'm missing something (VERY probable) but if I launch a form from Sharepoint, steps do you take to invoke the VS VB Debugger?

If you are using JScript you just add a "debugger;" statement into your OnLoad event handler.

If you are using managed code:

1. Launch VS.
2. Choose Debug Process from the Tools menu.
3. Select your InfoPath process, and then click Attach.
4. In the Attach To Process dialog box, select the appropriate check boxes, and then click OK.
5. Click Close.
6. Choose Break All from the Debug menu.

From here you shoud be able to do something in the view which will cause the VS debugger to take charge. Then you can set your breakpoints, etc. as normal.
