Problem:

When using CodeView Protect (CVP) Version 2.20, I trace my program
through a number of source files and after some number of files CVP is
no longer able to open source files. When CVP gets into this
situation, it automatically goes into mixed mode -- displaying line
numbers but no source text. In this state, trying to use the "v"
command to look at another (not previously looked at) file results in
a red message box telling me that CVP can't open the file.

Response:

This is a problem with CVP Version 2.20 and 2.30. CVP is running into a
file limit. To work around this problem, before you step out of the first
module, open the source file containing the code you wish to debug and
set a breakpoint there. Now "go" to this location by pressing the F5
key. This procedure allows you to start debugging at a location deep
into the file without opening multiple source files.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with CodeView versions
2.20 and 2.30. We are researching this problem and will post new
information as it becomes available.
