Here is the situation:
 1) I Have a project "Proj" which is compiled "Release".
 2) However, many of the routines which are called
    are part of a "standard" MyStd.LIB file.
 3) All of the routines in MyStd.LIB were compiled in a separate
    project as "FullDebug", before being placed into the library file.
 4) Project "Proj" links from MyStd.LIB.
 5) There is an Access Violation Exception in one of the "standard" 
routines.
 6) Before running "Proj" from the IDE, I OPEN the file where the error
    is located (NOTE: I DO NOT "Add" the routine).
 7) Then I place a break in the error routine.
 8) Control does not stop at the break.  Why?

Alternatively, you may be able to simply modify your main program 
project/options/linker/Linking parameters (I only have bds2006 available 
currently) to specify "Full Debug Information (-v)".

If, however, your project depends on a set of (release) libraries that your 
library also depends on (debug versions of), this will likely cause other 
problems, and you'll need to do as Gambit originally suggested.  (Say VCL, 
as one example.)

Also, a long shot, but I have recently encountered a problem with some 
similarity to yours (using bds2006), but having nothing to do with 
release/debug - the cause turned out to be use of IO Stream facilities by 
routines in the library, when no use of IO Stream facilities were made in 
the program.  Apparently the IO Stream facilities were not being initialized 
properly, when only referenced from the library.

Adding a definition of an IOStream in the main program project (its not 
actually used, other than being defined, and thus constructed) caused my 
access violation to evaporate.

Don't mix Release and Debug code together.  Compile everything for one or 
the other, not both.

Because "Proj" was compiled for Release instead of Debug.  You need to 
compile both projects in Debug mode.  Then the debugging symbols for 
"MyStd.lib" will be included in the TDS file that the IDE will use for 
debugging "Proj".
