- The application check box is checked.

- I have a point in my code that calls OutputDebugString, DebugOutput, and then
- OutputDebugString again (3 successive lines).
- The OutputDebugString strings are displayed by DBWin, but the
- DebugOutput string is not. I am using DBF_TRACE as the first parameter to DebugOutput
