vs6

Hi,

I have 3 projects in a VS6 workspace.

One is the main program, which calls - depending on configuration - one or both other progams. To call the other programs a exe is executed.

If I want to debug and set breakpoints in one of the subsequent programs, I get an error that breakpoints could not be set and have been deactivated.

Are there any VS6 settings I can check?

This is a legacy tool and neither the architecture nor VS6 can be changed. To make things worse I am not very familiar with VS6.

Will logging debugging incur a performance hit if I don't turn debugging on?

On a Cisco device, I know that enabling debugging can incur a performance hit since debugging has such a high priority on the CPU.
