I set the breakpoint there, I have the source for the file which contains the DllEntryPoint for a BPL in my source path, yet when I run an EXE which loads the package the debugger never stops there and the line on which I have set a breakpoint is green instead of red. And yes the .tds is in the right place since the debugger will stop at other breakpoints in my BPL.

Could you be debugging from within the EXE's project? Try from within the BPL's. I did a simple check using a project for a DLL that merely adds two numbers and returns the result. When in the project for the DLL I did a Run|Project and selected the EXE which loads it (implicitly linked - the import lib is part of the EXE's project list). It stopped at the breakpoint on the return statement in DllEntryPoint. I hope this helps but fear your project is too complex to not have the EXE's project active. ..

I too noticed that if I am debugging the BPL, it will stop but not when I am debugging an EXE which loads a BPL. I don't understand why it will not stop in the latter case since it will stop in all other BPL code from the EXE if I set the appropriate breakpoint in the BPL's source code.

No, I can go through the BPL's IDE and have the EXE run as the application. That solves the problem, thanks. It does seem that if I am debugging the EXE, it should be able to stop anywhere in a BPL ( or DLL ) as long as the IDE finds the equivalent .tds and source file for the latter.

With td32 you could load the symbol table and go on from there. That is what is needed here, but I could find no equivalent in the BCB IDE. I'm sure there must be a way, but if so, I don't know what it is (which wouldn't be the first time and consider the source, I am not a big fan of the BCB IDE). ..
