I'm needing to step through an application with BCB 5. The project
files are long lost.

Could someone explain how the Builder debugger may be used to simply
open an executable and step through it?

I tried to search Google groups, but it appears to be messed up. Also,
MERS didn't return anything applicable to my query.

TIA

Without the project files available, the best you can do is to step through
the raw assembly statements one at a time via the CPU View.

That's not a problem, Remy. I can't seem to find how to open the .exe file
with the IDE so that the debugger's CPU menu is enabled... Also, what is the
name of the debugger, and will it run standalone, or does it need to be opened
via the IDE? I'm using BCB 5 Ent.

Thanks for the reply.

Try Run-Attach to process from inside the IDE.
Then select the application/dll you want to debug

That always works for me...
