Debugging ActiveX Library - breakpoints don't.

[Rick Winterton]

I've successfully debugged this particular COM DLL before, but today while
trying to debug it, I can't get any of the breakpoints to halt program
execution.

I'm using Delphi 6 Professional.

Debugging is turned on, and when I compile the program, the dots in the left
hand column are there -- until I launch the executable (which is a very
short Visual Basic program).

I unregistered the library, then registered it just after compiling.

Any ideas? I've seen this before, but it has always seemed to "go away".

Check to see if you've got another version of the DLL hanging around
anywhere.

You may have, unknowingly, compiled a version with a greater version
number... perhaps.

And check your file project/options paths and your environment options paths
as well.

Check the registry to make sure that the activex library is registered
with a fully qualified "long" file name. I have seen quite a few times
where it gets registered with a short file name and debugging would
not work.

Add one more to the count.

Remember that tip! It's a winner!

Changing the project version of the dll worked for me
