Using the MS VC++ IDE I used to be able to set breakpoints by clicking in the left margin but I've done something stupid that seems to have turned off that function.

Dragging through help screens and menus I can't for the life of me find that setting.

Anyone remember how to turn on this option?

just use F9, or CTRL-B

I thought it could but maybe it was only in Visual Basic and I'm just confusing it with VC++. But I don't even have VS7.

F9 Works. Also, you can just right click on the line of code where you want to set a breakpoint and a menu will pop up (set/remove breakpoint should be on the menu). Finally, you can right click up on the toolbar area and turn on the "Build MiniBar" toolbar. On that tool bar is a hand icon. Clicking on the hand icon will set/remove breakpoints.
