    I can't get profiling to work with Visual Studio 6

    I'm using Microsoft Visual C++ 6 for my development environment. I've been able to get profiling to work in the past...I'm aiming at getting just basic function timings to see where bottlenecks in my physics simulation program are occuring.

    In order to get profiling to work, it is my understanding that you have to follow these steps:

    -Go to Project->Settings
    -In the settings menu, go to Link
    -In the Link folder, go to the General category (in the drop down menu)
    -Make sure 'enable profiling' and 'generate mapfile' are checked
    -Rebuild entire project
    -Go to Build, then Profile

    The problem is that no matter how many times I do these steps, 'Profile' is grayed out meaning something is still setup incorrectly. I'm very perplexed at this problem. Any ideas?
