If you ever run into this (again), check/compare the relative location of your pjx to the source code to the actual app to your source. Gives trouble ONLY with prg and not with vcx and made my life miserable at a place where they sequesterd all their pjx into a subDir.<br /><br />regards<br /><br />thomas Hi Rick,

there are some situations where even setting the path doesn’t always give you the source of prg’s. If you ever run into this (again), check/compare the relative location of your pjx to the source code to the actual app to your source. Gives trouble ONLY with prg and not with vcx and made my life miserable at a place where they sequesterd all their pjx into a subDir.

thomas

Andrew alluded to the source not being available, but it was Toni's solution number one (set the path) that solved my problem.<br /><br />Toni, the Amazon.com gift certificate is on the way!<br /><br />I can tell you I have learned a lot from this experience. Mucho thanks from Sterling Heights. We have a winner! Andrew alluded to the source not being available, but it was Toni’s solution number one (set the path) that solved my problem.

Toni, the Amazon.com gift certificate is on the way!

Feltman Thu, 15 Jun 2006 07:50:00 +0000 http://rickschummer.com/blog2/2006/06/lost-in-trace/#comment-935 I just ran into this problem recently as well. One of two things I did fixed it. <br /><br />1. I set path to the folder where the source file (a prg in my case) actually existed. I know that this should not be necessary in an app, but hey we are grasping at straws here.<br /><br />2. I deleted the .fxp file. Again, shouldn't need to but one of these two things worked.

It's because the debugger just can't seem to trace PRGs that it can't find. I personally hate this - why bother having an option to "Include Debug Info" when it's not really included?<br />(to be fair, that option simply ensures that line #s and programs are retained when reporting errors but still!)<br /><br />But it is one of the main reasons why I continue to use visual classes to this day - I can actually debug them when I'm tracing it through in another directory.

If I am not mistaken, I tried as below : <br />1. Copy prg to builder.app folder (same level)<br />2. Set breakpoint 'when expression is true', '"MYPRG" $ PROGRAM()'.<br />3. If step2 able to help to view source code, set breakpoint at the line you wan to debug as usual by dbclick left pane.<br /><br />HTH Hi,
