I received this message in compile build:

Any idea whats wrong

Nope.  Not without seeing the source code.

Sometimes I wonder if compilers are worth all the headaches they seem to generate .. 

As an interpreter, Creative never throws a list of problems like that at you - and the interpreter is just as fast in most applications.

If you have unreferenced variables, it keeps quiet about it - if you set up variables and don't use them, that's up to you.  Who knows, you might just be preparing to use them later.

CB doesn't have errors 'making it through' - if somethings wrong it's messages seem more helpful than 'panic'.

I'm working on some pretty complicated applications, and I can concentrate on the algorithm without being pestered by the compiler all the time.  Nice and smooth, with excellent debugging if needed. 

I do like to turn autodefinition of variable types "off" though, and explicitly define variable types - that avoids making silly mistakes with the data processing.

Hope you find what's causing the 'panic' .. 

all the best,

Graham

It's a shame you don't like CREATIVE BASIC and can never find something nice to say about it.

Ooh .. I'm embarrassed .. 

Best wishes,
