I forgot to add that you can use "set path to <path1>; <path2>" ... etc before the "set proc to " command and this will set the search paths for the procedures without hard coding them in in the "set proc" command.

... and also don't forget that your "set path" and where your current directory is placed "curdir()" settings can affect the ability to find your procedure file if you have not given it a defined location.
I always have an init.prg program which I run immediately after opening a project. The first thing that does is:
cFolder=Application.ActiveProject.HomeDir
set default to (cFolder)
=MessageBox("Default Folder: "+cFolder)
*
Return
Then, I have various folders off the main project base called programs, Forms, Reports, Menus, Graphics etc and my set procedure command is normally:
Set procedure to programs\<subroutines_1.prg>, programs\<Subroutines_2.prg> etc....etc...
Make sure your project home folder is set correctly (This will be obvious if you run the above init.prg. If the Project home folder isn't where the project is placed then right click on the Project form and select Project Info where you can change it.

In addition to what other people have said, try this in the debugger
(paraphrased):
*** Set a break point "when value has changed"
*** Set the expression to be "SET('procedure')"
Your program will stop when the SET PROCEDURE value is being reset or adjusted. HTH.
