Where's the Hex?

[Bob D.]

I'm trying to compile a short C program with MPLAB IDE. Nothing seems to happen when I click to Compile or Make. I'm not sure if it's making a HEX file or not. Where does does IDE normally leave the HEX file? If something is amiss, wouldn't it at least announce some kind or error?

Mine chucks it in the same working directory as my project and .asm files

Bob D. here, The problem turned out to be my use of an uppercase "C" (source.C) as the extension of my source file name. Evidently Microchip does not like upper case! If they're going to be that picky, they should at least produce an error code!
