Question: How do I see Foxhound diagnostics, errors and exceptions?

Answer:

You can use Foxhound Options - Display Diagnostics to see messages recorded by Foxhound itself.

Here is an example of a Foxhound exception message with an explanation of the different sections:

exception id: 1, 2, 3...
|   date and time of the exception
|   |                       Foxhound build number
|   |                       |                Foxhound connection number that detected the exception
|   |                       |                |          exception location within Foxhound code
|   |                       |                |          |              diagnostic text: variable format              target database id and name
|   |                       |                |          |              |                                                                    |

Also, you can use one of these "debug" shortcuts to start Foxhound

All Programs - Foxhound3 - Tools - Start Foxhound via default browser - debug

All Programs - Foxhound3 - Tools - Start Foxhound via Chrome - debug

All Programs - Foxhound3 - Tools - Start Foxhound via Firefox - debug

All Programs - Foxhound3 - Tools - Start Foxhound via IE - debug
so that messages produced by the SQL Anywhere engine will be captured to this file on Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\RisingRoad\Foxhound3\foxhound3_debug.txt
and this file on Vista and Windows 7:
C:\ProgramData\RisingRoad\Foxhound3\foxhound3_debug.txt
