Trash your sym files,  delete the source file and add it back again to 
your project.  I think that will resolve all things... but let me know 
if it doesn't there may be other things to try.

But the sym file information is for a different file and that is why you 
are getting the error.   I've seen this before when moving files, 
(especially if the project is open)  It probably still has some cache 
set for the network drive.

I'm not sure what the problem is,  ultimately it is Metrowerks problem 
to solve even if it is an OS quirk,  so please report this to 
Metrowerks.  Even if the fix is simple.  If enough people report it then 
it will be given the highest priority.

First I tired: 1a) remove source file from project 1b) "remove object code"
from project 2) close CW 3) delete the output app for the project targe in
question (ie the package that contains the sym file) 4) delete the target
settings file for the project 5) start CW 6) put source file back into
project 7) rebuild project --- same problem!

Then I tried 1) remove source file from project 2) copy the source file
contents into a new source file 3) add the new source file to the project 4)
quit CW 5) delete sym file itself from output app package 6) restart CW 7)
recompile ---- it worked!

Maybe a corruption in the source file itself? Bad bit in Finder data? In any
case, this reminded me that I've had to do the same kind of thing a few
times over the past few years, both on CW Mac and MS VC++ Windows.

I'm still getting weird behavior in the program, but now it's probably due
to my buggy code!

Thanks,
Michael

good luck, and thanks for sticking with it and finding the fix.
