I've been handed a solution, which I'm trying to debug. The problem seems to be that it only has a release configuration. I don't see the debug/release configuration on the standard toolbar & when I build the solution I see
"Build started: Project: GALMA, Configuration: Release Any CPU"
Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can add a "debug" configuration
You can, what version of VC++ IDE are you using ?
You need to find the Configuration Manager (in VC++ 6, goto Build->Configurations), and add new, then save it. Go to the settings fo this configuration and set the Debug Info to Program Database on C++ tab, also set the generate Debug Info in linker settings. You will also need to use _DEBUG macro in C++ tab's preprocessor definations.
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 professional. According to the documentation I should be able to go to the Configuration Manager from the build menu, however I don't see Configuration Manager on the build menu.

Configuration Manager is there in Build menu for Visual C++ 2005, what kind of project you have ?
It sounds like you might have the wrong profile enabled in vs. Try doing this:
1) go to tools->options->Import Export Settings
2) select Import Selected Environment Settings and click next
3) Save your existing settings (if you want). Choose next
4) Select General Development Settings from the list of profiles
5) Choose finish
Hope that helps
