title: How to get rid of exception 80000003?
body: <p>When I run my program (admittedly, it was built in debug mode), I get an error "External exception 80000003".</p>
  
  <p>According to <a href="http://www.support.tabs3.com/main/R10309.htm">Win32 Exception/Access Violation Errors</a> it means <code>0x80000003  EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT    A breakpoint was encountered.</code></p>
  
  <p>However, there are no breakpoints set in the IDE and I am running it outside of the IDE.</p>
  
  <p>Yes, I have the correct executable. I deleted all breakpoints, cleaned my project and built it afresh, but still that dialog box. I even deleted the .exe, built again, saw it appear where expected. Verified the timestamp on the .exe.  I added a message box to FromCreate() and saw that, plus "External exception 80000003".</p>
  
  <p>How do I make that go away (building in debug mode)?</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>D'oh!!  It was old code and I forgot that I actually had coded this in one error condition <code>asm int 3 end;</code> of course, that signals a breakpoint to the IDE (or to Windows, if the IDE is not running, hence the error box). Apologies for time wasting.</p>
