# Edit a Breakpoint Location
  The breakpoint location specifies the line and character where the breakpoint resides in a [!INCLUDE[tsql](../../includes/tsql-md.md)] script file. You can edit the breakpoint location to move the breakpoint to another location in the script, or to a different script.  
  
## Editing a Location  
 When you edit a breakpoint location, the breakpoint moves to the new location, carrying with it all of the existing properties, such as a hit count or condition.  
  
#### To Edit a Breakpoint Location  
  
1.  In the editor window, right-click the breakpoint glyph, and then click **Location** on the shortcut menu.  
  
     -or-  
  
     In the **Breakpoints** window, right-click the breakpoint glyph, and then click **Location** on the shortcut menu.  
  
2.  In the **File Breakpoint** dialog box, edit **File** to specify a new file, **Line** to specify a new line, or **Character** to specify a new location within the line. If the new file you specify is already open in a query editor window, the breakpoint is moved to that editor window. If the file is not opened, a new editor window is opened, the file is loaded in, and the breakpoint moved to the new location.  
  
     The **Allow the source code to be different from the original version** option has no effect when debugging [!INCLUDE[tsql](../../includes/tsql-md.md)].
