Carter, That's exactly where I've tried to put the breakpoint, but I never hit it and as I indicated earlier, the breakpoint symbol indicates that symbols weren't loaded even though other information, like the Module list and the debug output window, indicate that symbols were loaded.

If VC tells you the breakpoint won't be reached, you need to put it somewhere else.
