SUMMARY
Since the release of SQL Server 2000, Microsoft has identified a number of issues between SQL Server 2000 and the Visual Basic 6.0 T-SQL Stored Procedure Debugger add-in, which originally released in 1998. This article lists the most significant issues.
MORE INFORMATION
For additional information about any of the issues that are listed, please consult the referenced Microsoft Knowledge Base articles:
- In Visual Basic Service 6.0 Pack 4 (SP4) and earlier, the debugger does not correctly parse the SQL Server 2000 @RETURN_VALUE parameter, which has been renamed from RETURN_VALUE. As a result, stored procedure parameters are listed incorrectly in the debugger window, and the procedure will not execute correctly. Visual Basic 6.0 SP5 resolves this issue.

- The debugger does not work with a named instance of SQL Server 2000.
310647 BUG: Visual Basic 6.0 T-SQL Debugger Fails Against SQL Server 2000 Named Instance
- The debugger does not work with SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 1. This problem has been fixed in SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 2.
- The SQDBG_SS folder on CD 2 of Microsoft Visual Studio or Visual Basic Enterprise Edition contains a setup program for the automated installation of the debugging components that are required on the SQL Server. However, this setup program fails on SQL Server 2000, and you must install the components manually.
