Execute a Debug.Print statement that generates an error, using an On Error statement to catch the error. In a compiled executable, the Debug.Print statement is removed so the error doesn't occur.

Private debug_mode As Boolean
' Set debug_mode.
Private Sub SetDebugMode()
On Error GoTo InIDE
Debug.Print 1 / 0
debug_mode = False
Exit Sub
InIDE:
debug_mode = True
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
' See whether we're in the IDE.
SetDebugMode
' Tell the user.
If debug_mode Then
Label1.Caption = "In the development environment"
Else
Label1.Caption = "In a compiled executable"
End If
