Symbol names are generally unique. As a USB stack developer, I never saw the file name being useful for anything in the error message, let alone the full path! Always hated them, but never bothered to break spears over the issue. We have better things to do. I just quietly remove debugging printouts from the code I touch. -- Pete ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
