Good morning, I have compiler V 2.00 installed. (installed after the other was uninstalled first) Recently I tried to open projects I made with the last compiler version. I always get an error "can't find file c\.....\somefile.bas" , and "unable to locate module c\.....\somefile.bas", where the directory are the default directory of the last compiler version (that folder doesns't exist anymore) The title of the Editor window does change to that of the project I want to work on, but that's it. I can see the module is physically right where it should be, in the current Bx Environment programs folder; I can see all bas,pfr,bxb, etc files for the project I want to open. There are about 40 programs that won't open. I can open them in notepad just fine; I'd like to avoid manually going through every file and making a new project with it. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have a similar problem? Thank you, Paul

Hi Frank, Thanks for your reply (and on a Sunday! Gee, you could wait until a weekday:) Here is a bxp file of one such project, located in the directory of the project's .bas file: c:\program files\basicx environment\scantest.bas This is the old folder directory of the last software version. All the programs are now in c:\program files\basicx\programs\ I can go through each file's bxp and change it to the correct pathway.

Otherwise this causes the problems you're seeing. This wasn't handled very well in older versions of the IDE, but it should be fixed in V2.0. One workaround is to re-create the old directory name, open each project with the new compiler and hit Save-Project in the editor file menu. This should remove the path name from all modules that share the same directory as the BXP file. At this point you could restore the new directory names. -- Frank Manning -- NetMedia, Inc.

The project load process will give problems if there is a blank line in the BXP file and also, if the end-of-file-marker is on a line of it's own and not on the same line as the last path statement. If you edit the BXP in Notepad, make sure there is no spaces or tabs after the last character of the path name. The end-of-file marker should be on that line. I noticed that weird trait after generating BXPs files from a VB module. I thought them to be text files but their not. At least not in the sense that most TXT files are. I have seen project files trashed once or twice now. Flat out empty on a load or on an IDE exit. I always have a back up so I recover just fine from it. Im not certain that its actually v2.0 or a windows driver for my CD burner. Since I use UDF CD formats and work right to and from the CD directly in BasicX. Could be a flaky UDF driver or a odd bug in Windows using CDs as hard-drive-like devices or something flaky in v2.0. V2.0 is last on the list, most everything else I've been thru on it is pretty solid so I suspect the UDF driver or the CD driver....or maybe its just that time again to reload Win2000..... .db. -----Original Message----- From: Frank Manning [mailto:] Sent: Sunday, May 12, 2002 1:37 PM To: Subject: Re: [BasicX] Re: V.2 compiler project error From: "pjc309430" <> > Hi Frank, > > Thanks for your reply (and on a Sunday!

Hi Frank, and Dan, Thanks for the replies. I've gone through all the projects manually, and now all the bxp files look okay. Thanks for the tips, Paul
