welp, I dunno if you solved the problem or not. its now like a month later... but the syntax error is deff the line "on as integer".
ON is a QB reserved word. it always has been. if you change the variable decleration from ON to something like varON then your error will be gone.
some reserved words that require ON:
ON KEY, ON UEVENT, ON STRIG, ON PLAY, ON OPEN, ON ERROR, ON TIMER.
Thanks again for this suggestion. I changed all .On as you suggest, and ran into a complaint about a definition...
DECLARE SUB HandlePix (Arg$, Params as LineParams, BoxWidOnly!, PSx@)
Alt-R-R highlighted the "@)" and said "Expected: , or )". I changed it to "PSx as LONG" and the complaint stopped.
But now when I try to open my .MAK file, I get "out of memory. BOY do I wish I had a better memory, or better records of how I used to do this!
I'm running XP Pro; I set my PIF memory settings:
Total memory: Auto
Initial env: Auto
EMS: None
XMS: Auto (used HMA)
DPMI: Auto
Total size of all .BAS files +.BI = 257,055 bytes.
I'm off to do more digging on my own but if anyone has the quick dope-slap fix, let me know -
