vb6 tracking where a function was called from

I recently inherited a VB6 project. It is pretty involved and my issue is that many different functions call this centralized function. Meaning when I do a find I get a ton of different locations in the project that make this call. Is there a way to see in debug mode what function called the function I have a break point on?

For example: funcA calls funcZ funcB calls funcZ funcC calls funcZ it goes on and on...

If I put a break point on funcZ is there anyway in VB6 that I can see what function called funcZ (A,B or C in my example)?

Just wondering...

A nice free tool (every VB6 IDE should have it) that amongst its many cool features is one that shows all calling procedures for any sub or function.

What you seem to be asking about is a stack trace. Memory fails how easy/hard this is so a quick google search brought up this question. Combine that with some output to the immediate window, and you should be good.

Edit: Wim's answer is much better.

Yes. Hit Ctrl+L to see the call stack.
