Sorry for the cross post, but was not certain if this is a multi-tier issue
or IDE issue

I'm trying to do something which should be so innately simple... I want to
debug both my Client and Server (Midas) app with Delphi 7. I am running the
EmpEdit demo (delphi7demosmidasempedit)

I'm not certain if I am doing this correctly.

1) Tools | Debugger Options | check "Enable cross platform support"
2) Project | Options | check Include Remot Debug Symbols

I then run my Client. When it connects to the server (server.exe) the CPU
view popups up. I can close it, and it all works fine, the debugger stops
at break points, etc.

Questions-
1) Is this how it is done? The next time I run the project, the "active"
app is the server, so I need to reset it to the client app - a real pain

2) is there a way to stop the CPU windows from showing when the server is
launched. I found a plethora of posts regarding the Win2k debug problem
that was supposedly fixed in SP2. I have even downloaded the patch from
Code Central (15804_w2k_debug_break_point_fix.zip) and tried other tips
like nuking the DOF files and 256 colour icons. All to no avail.

I am running Win2k SP4, with Delphi 7.
