I’ve been trying to use the debugger. Toad reports a COM error. I reported the issue to Quest tech support in June. Tech Support has reproduced the error on their systems. No resolution to date (August). I am trying to debug stored procedures in SQL Server Express v20. I asked Tech Support if this is supposed to work. They advised that it is.
