Unable to Debug after Release

I am programming a console application in BDS 2006. During the process of
writing and configuring and testing in Debug configuration all was well. I
could press the F8 key and get the step by step operation line by line with
all of the local variables and watches available to me. Then when I thought
that it was done and ready for release I changed the configuration to
Release and sent it out. When a problem came up later I went back and
changed the configuration back to Debug but now when I hit the F8 key it
brings up a CPU window and does not step through like I want it to. It is
like in CPP Ver 6 when you tried to debug but had the output set to
"Release" instead of "Full Debug". Where is the option to fix this.
Reading through this newsgroup I have found a couple of things and checked
them and nothing brings it back to the debug mode that I want. Can you not
debug after you have made a release version? I'm sure that I am just
missing something.
Thanks

After switching to Debug, did you perform a full build ?
