As I always use crt libs linked static (non-DLL), I did not experience any problems with them. Maybe they use it the same way at RogueWave or maybe there is no conflict between VC6/VC5 crt debug libs. Ondrej

I suppose the other files are CRT libs, which I link statically and therefore do not have problems with them. If it is only one project than maybe you could link even MFC as static libs in your debug build and you should have no problems with wrong version then.
