For many, but not all, of my projects, I cannot evaluate or inspect
variables when stepping through code. I get '????' as the value.

The projects are set to Full Debug with debug information included in the
linker. Many of the projects have recently been converted from BCB4, where
debugging worked without problem. However, even if new projects are created
the problem is present.

Has anyone any idea what could be wrong?

I'm using XP Professional as operating system.

I'm still running BCB under Win2K so I don't know about any OS problems.

Another thing to check though, is that the .tds file (debug info) is in
the same folder as teh .EXE you are debugging.

Likewise, are you building a monolithic .EXE, or getting lost debugging
into .DLLs or packages?

Most of my projects are DLLs which are loaded dynamically by an EXE. I can't
say for sure whether it's only DLLs that are affected, although certainly
there are some EXEs that debug correctly. I will check on this.

The TDS files and the EXE are in the same folder.
