When running the debugger, the error message “The process cannot be created 
because of the following reason(s): The current target is a DLL and cannot 
be executed…”
I am trying to debug a regular EXE (which calls for a DLL at start).  How 
can I skip the annoying window?

Also:
I have a procedure:
Static Procedure SetTenantChargeMenu( oMenu, aMenu, aLine)
Where aline is: @abrw[oBrw:cargo]
When the mouse is over the parameter aLine, nothing is shown (oMenu and 
aMenu are showing the values alright).
Any suggestion?

Itai,

when you hit F9 within a project with exe and dll, be shure that the exe 
is the active project part. It's shown by highlighting it's name.

I only select "Reset Program" from the Run menu item.

Hi Itai,

Jan is absolutely right. The debugger can not make anything usefull
when trying to debug a target which is a DLL. At least the debugger
needs some help here.

You have two options:

1) Select a exe target as active one that is using the DLL. Whenever
code in the DLL is executed breakpoints that you have set are
significant and make the debugger to stop the application

2) In the menu Run -> Parameters select a hostprocess which
is a target that use the DLL. In this case the debugger knows what
executable to start in an attemp to debug a DLL.

Can you post a sample. Following is showing the tooltip with
valid information:

/////////////////////////////// snip 
/////////////////////////////////////////
CLASS Test
  EXPORTED:
    VAR Cargo
    INLINE METHOD init()
      ::Cargo := 1
    RETURN(self)
ENDCLASS

PROCEDURE Main
  LOCAL o := Test():new()
  LOCAL aBrows := {10,20,30}

  TestFunc( @aBrows[o:Cargo] )

RETURN

FUNCTION TestFunc( aLine )  <- Cursor on aLine shows 10
RETURN(.T.)
/////////////////////////// snap
