FAQ 208: Running ClinicOffice in DEBUG Mode

[Support]

Sometimes we might ask you to run the software in "DEBUG MODE" to help us to troubleshoot particularly difficult problems.

To activate debug mode, you need to add a command line switch to your ClinicOffice shortcut. To do this, please follow these steps :-

[1] Close down ClinicOffice
[2] RIGHT-click on the ClinicOffice shortcut on your desktop (the one which you usually use to launch the program)
[3] Click "Properties"
[4] Click in the TARGET box and move the cursor to the very end of the text that is already in there (outside of any quotes)
[5] Add a space and then /debug. For example :-

"C:\Program Files\Pioneer Software\ClinicOffice v5\ClinicOfficeV5.exe"
becomes :-
"C:\Program Files\Pioneer Software\ClinicOffice v5\ClinicOfficeV5.exe" /debug

[6] Click OK
[7] Launch ClinicOffice as usual (by double-clicking the icon)

ClinicOffice will now run in DEBUG mode and will output useful information to the "_debug" folder which is under your "COv5_Data" folder. By default, the full path to this folder will be :-
C:\COv5_Data\_debug
