Program Trace Window no longer working

Solved

I have been using the program trace window to watch my scripts run for months which is critical when I'm troubleshooting. Yesterday I was using it in the morning and when I went to use it again during the afternoon the debug options were gone. I checked the sota.ini file located in C:\Sage\Sage 100 ERP Workstation\MAS90\Launcher\ and debug=1 is still in there. I did a full uninstall of the Sage workstation client and then reinstalled and readded the Debug=1 flag to the ini file. Still not working. I even tried changing it in the \\X.X.X.X\mas90\Launcher\sota.ini. Still no luck. In my test system it works fine, the ini files are identical, and yet it won't show me the debug options. Any thoughts? Also tried doing a restore point to 2 days ago, again, no dice. I desperately need to be able to debug for scripting.

Here is the beginning of the sota.ini file if it helps

[Config]
Serial=XXXXXX
Users=1
Buttoncursor=0
Resourcelib=90wres32.dll
RetryDeviceError=1
Disabled3detch=0
Debug=1

[WindowFrame]
TypeSizeLoc=1,570,440,0,0
Caption=Sage 100 ERP
MessageBar=22

    Debug in the SOTA.INI (and consequently in the SOTAPGM.INI as well) only applies to programs executed locally to that directory where you set Debug.
    Since this is a Sage 100 ERP Advanced installation, you will need to run in "MAS90 mode" to debug your issue.

    To run in "MAS90 mode"
    Go to the server's ..\MAS90\home folder
    Start PVXWIN32.EXE
    Type RUN "STARTUP.M4P

    As long as your debug is set in the server's SOTA.INI and SOTAPGM.INI files then you will be able to debug there.

    Hope that helps!

    I beg to differ with as one can debug in Advanced mode by merely setting the Debug=1 option in SOTAPGM.INI of the local workstation Launcher folder (i.e. C:\Sage\Sage 100 ERP Workstation\MAS90\Launcher\ ).
