I have started to use VLISP again after a one year Hiatus. I am having a problem with one of the functions that I have previously written. The function will run to a certain point and then simply quit and dump me to the command line with the message:"error: bad argument type: stringp nil" Now I had thought that previously, the VLIDE would take you to the editor and highlight the source of the problem but, this is not happening. I try to do "Last Break Source" and I get a windows box with an OK button that says only ":CALLBACK-ENTRY". Anyone have an idea of how to hunt down the culprit string?

Also, I seem to remember being able to run a project from within the VLIDE but the button to do so is grayed out. How an I activate the run button.
 
Normally, that error happens when trying to do something to a string that does not have the string formatted how you thought it was supposed to be. The trace stack and the watch window should point you to the last returned entries.

Make sure the code is loaded and then type in your function from the Visual Lisp Console. The green run button shows during execution of code.
