Thanks, Polo & Danny, for your responses.
I'm further forward, but still not getting a result!
First: I was using /B (as cut and pasted from elsewhere in this forum!) to compile, instead of /D, so fixing that makes it work better!
Second: I moved AltD() to right before the problem area, but I still don't get any "Debug window" on the taskbar. I do get a popup message box with "Debugger invoked" every time I pass that point, but when I click OK - nothing changes. I've tried pressing F5 and F8 while that box is displayed and after clicking OK, but still nothing.
There are certainly several wait states in the routine, which complicates things, but I don't think that's the problem.
You said that code might be in my compiled library (or otherwise external), but all of the code (apart from standard functions) used in the application is defined/coded in Main.Prg (or in the Fmg files that are loaded), so no calls to outside routines or even calls to other prg files.
So I think my question now (before I start to "divide and conquer"?) is: What could I be doing (or not doing) to cause the debug window not to appear on the taskbar? (Such as: Is there a special "#Include" file for debugging? I think I'd have had an error message if that was the case, but maybe not. Or does every MemVar have to be designated Static or Public or...? Or some other "trick"? There must be something that I'm just not getting! )
Thanks again.
