Also, and since we're at it, you may consider the idea of picking this
simple (yet useful) tool

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/debugview

at that point, in your own VB code, add a bas module containing the
following code

' ====================================================================
Private Declare Sub OutputDebugString Lib "kernel32" 
                          Alias "OutputDebugStringA" _
                          (ByVal lpString as String)
                          
                          
                          
Public Sub DbgPrint(ByVal sTxt As String)
  Dim sStr As String
  
  sStr = "["  & App.ExeName & "] " & sTxt & vbCrLf & Chr(0)
  Call OutputDebugString(sStr)
End Sub
' ====================================================================

now, throughout your code, whenever you'll want to have some diagnostic
message, just add a call to the DbgPrint sub, at this point, to view
the messages, even in the compiled (exe or dll) program, just fire the
debugview tool (link above) set the filter to only show messages from
your application (that is "[youappname]") and start (or load) your
application :)
