Soccer - I personally gave up on that - If someone has a fix - I hope they can help ya - I just started using more "Print "Variable:";VariName;Sync;Wait Key type stuff - and log files sometimes.

(Another thing I like about DarkGDK I can at least freeze it - step through - and hover mouse over variables and usually can see the contents.)

[edit]oops wrong forum - What Version C++ are you using? VC2005Express, VC2005, 2008?

Its related to the way your project is configured.

The problem appears to be this:
your project is in C:myProj
the debug generated file is stored on c:myProjDebug

SO if you app ,try to open a file from "datamodel.x"
it will try to open from c:\myProj\Debug\data\

You can do this and try:
Copy your generated .exe (the one on the debug/ folder) on the root of your application (where your .vcproj is)
So your app will try to open from c:\myProj\data and NOT on c:\myproj\debug\data

hope you can understand
Sorry my english
cheers

UPDATE: remeber that when you press ctrl+F5 or F5 it will try to run the c:\myApp\debug.
