I have a FinalBuilder project which gets fired off by our Team Foundation Server. Is there a way to "Attach" the FinalBuilder IDE to a project file when it's being started by TFS?

The reason I ask is when I test the project without TFS everything works fine, but when TFS runs the project I get failures. The log from FB file is helpful, but I would like to inspect the variables of my project realtime.

Hi Justin,   
  
 You can’t attach the FinalBuilder IDE to an existing FBCMD process. Have you tried running your project from the command line (using FBCMD) and seeing whether you get the same result?
