Can't Get PicKit3 to debug using MPLAB 8.63

just started using my new PicKit3. I have a breadboard setup and I am using the Pickit3's connector plugged straight into the 6 pin header on my breadboard. I am not using the 44 pin demo board or the standard adapter.

I can program just fine however, I can't get the unit to debug. When I try to run I get:
PK3Err0040: The target device is not ready for debugging. Please check your configuration bit settings and program the device before proceeding.
I have checked the configuration bits (maybe not correctly) and I think the device is ready - I just programmed it.

I do know that when I compile my project, under Build Configuration I have no options so I can't select a debug compile. Does anyone have any suggestions???

I am using MPLAB 8.63, PicBasic Pro 2.60C, 18F2525 and PicKit3. I know the program works because it is a test program which just toggles 2 pins high/low.

in your configuration fuses you have one called DEBUG (or something like that), it MUST be ON. I really don't have a clue how to make it work with PBP though. Maybe you need to INCLUDE some file or something?

Try in assembler, if this works, well.. contact Melabs.

MPLAB automatically sets the DEBUG bit when you program the device from the "Debugger" menu.
Don't program from the "Programmer" menu.

Under ... Project > Build Options > Project > PICBASIC PRO tab, insure that "Source-Level Debug" is checked.

Sorry but I do not understand the term. What is "configuration fuses"?

I have check to make sure the Source-Level Debug is checked. How do you "program the device from the "Debugger" menu."

Have you tried to Debugger -> Program, and then Run?

Thank you that worked. I never noticed the program command, I was busy hit run and looking at error messages. Thank you for your help.
