Hi Cetin,

I was tryomg different flavors of path, but none seems to be sowking fine, for debugging only( because the exe works ok). I created a prg which contents is:

X = "D:\my_app;PRGS;DBFS;CLASSES;FORMS;REPORTS;MENUS;IMAGES;FILES"
SET PATH TO (x)
SET DEFAULT TO SYS(5)+SYS(2003)+"\PRGS"

As I said before the exe is under d:\my_app folder, so the way I debug( and you can try!) is openeing the debug window - open(select the exe) - select a prg and set a breakpoint so the program will stop there - use the small triangle to resume.

If you follow the steps, you will see that the breakpoint works, but the message you find there is "function is out of date"( which is wrong!)

I was not able to make it work so far, something else( the "set path" was in the main..prg , but I took it off, the result is the same.

If you have the work around or solution I will appreciate.

Thanks!!!!
