What is the button Next Scope or Previous Scope supposed to do? Either it doesn't work or I don't understand its function. I'm using VC6 and VAX 1229.

put the keyboard cursor in a variable name, and then click one of these buttons. for me, VAX jumps to and hightlights the next or previous instance of this variable in the current scope. so, it will find all references in the current function, but will ignore references in other functions

this is in C++ code in VS .NET 2003

That sounds like the description of "Find next in scope," not "next scope."

The way mine appears to work is that it takes you to the next opening (for next) or closing (for previous) curly brace at the same level or higher than the cursor is currently at.

jpizzi, your description is what I expected to happen, but the cursor doesn't move and only the status line changes to say Next Scope while the button is pressed.
Are you using VC6 and VAX 1229?

No, sorry. Using 1223 on .NET 2003.

Tomato, is this suppose to work with VS6 (C++) and 1229?
Also I copied the sort button to my toolbar and it doesn't work either. Is there another step that I need to take to make them active?

Just to confirm. I also have VC6 and 1228 and it does not work.
