Hi everyone,
I have been trying to make a few of my own modules,but keep getting can't find or can't open module.I have sort of read through the help,but don't seem to see anything related to where the compiler looks for the modules. I have it saved in the projects directory.

You should find a folder My Documents/Swordfish/UserLibrary to store them in. Otherwise, check the View/Editor Options tab to find default location of files.

Regards,

Steve

Compile will search for modules in the following order..

(a) in the folder that contains the main program
(b) the user library folder
(c) the system library folder

Make sure that if you include a module, like this

Code: Select all

include "MyModule.bas"

the module has the module keyword included, right at the top. For example,

Code: Select all

module MyModule
dim 
   a,b,c as byte
