MS Visual c++ V6.0

I'm getting memory leak reports ...

Detected memory leaks!
Dumping objects ->
{819} normal block at 0x03114610, 1788 bytes long.
Data: < ( > 00 00 00 00 C0 00 00 00 28 06 00 00 CD CD CD CD
{818} normal block at 0x0264CF78, 88 bytes long.
Data: <p O O p O O > 70 11 4F 00 C0 12 4F 00 70 13 4F 00 20 14 4F 00
Object dump complete.

and I've tried following the procedures described in help, to use the global
variable _afxBreakAlloc to break at the appropriate position, but the
compiler complains that this variable is undeclared. I also tried someone
elses suggestion of a breakpoint in afxmem.cpp and that didn't work either.
_afxBreakAlloc doesn't seem to be defined anywhere in the MFC sorce code.

Any other suggestions on how I locate these leaks please ?

Solved my own problem with a bit more searching. Using
_CrtSetBreakAlloc(location) works fine
