Any Borland Techos reading this? I need help as I have lost already about 4 days trying to debug a complex routine. There are no compile errors, it runs fine until it hits a range error somewhere (don't know where yet as I can't get any breakpoints to stop it in this unit).
Hey the debugger does not work anymore! Can someone suggest where further up the line I can submit this problem to? I am out for a while, later in the day I will resort to the D5 debugger.

It made no difference, the breakpoints still would not work. And it is even a bit more mysterious---the dcu's did not reappear in the unit output directory even once the program was rebuilt. If I close the program ("File/Close All") and reopen and recompile they do reappear in the unit output directory. So what on earth is Delphi 2006 doing with the dcu's? is it caching them in memory or more likely putting them somewhere in a temporary folder....but I can't find them under "Program Files" or "Borland" or "Documents and Settings" John -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Phil Middlemiss Sent: Tuesday, 14 February 2006 9:26 a.m. To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: Re: [DUG] I broke the D2006 debugger John, one thing that has sometimes worked for me in the past is to delete all the DCUs of my own libraries before rebuilding - not just for the project, but also any library files you use (that you have the source in the build path for). I don't know why this has worked but it has. Phil.
