Hi Greg,

Here's the rules as I understand them. To debug from within VFP, the EXE must be in same relative position to the source file as when the EXE was built. i.e. You cannot move the EXE and then run it and expect to be able to debug properly. Also, you can partially debug either after moving the EXE or when running the EXE outside of VFP, but only code that resides in class libraries, not PRG's.

Here is a hint when working with EXE's. Get rid of your SET PATH. Using SET PATH is a crutch. The project file is designed to track exactly where your files are located. There is no need to use a PATH statement to allow your program to erroneously pick up the wrong file.
