When I select the option and click on connect debugger the error message appears:
PDB file error; The system can not find the file specified.

How do I use the debugger option?
Help please.

Connect just tries to connect to an already loaded debug program on the chip/module. If you have't programmed the chip first using the Debug programming button(instead of the regular Program button) there will be no PDB file and the chip will not have the debuggable version of your code load. After you have programmed the chip using the Debug programming button you can reconnect to the chip using the Connect menu option if you stop debugging and want to retest something without making any changes to your code.

I have a similar problem but I am pressing the Debug button to get the compile/download/debug session going. I did press that button however, but I still get the PDB FIle not found error. What do I do next?

Is the PDB file being gnerated? Is any file being generated? Open Preferences(tools menu) and make sure Delete temporary files is unchecked. Then hig debug. Then look in the folder of the bas file and let us know what is created. Also make sure you aren't getting other errors which are causing the PDB not to be gerenated.
