Unable to Open Include File

[HenrikOlsson]

Have you verified that the file extension is .bas and not .pbp?
As long as the file is in the PBP folder or in the same folder as the source file from which you include the other file(s) it should work.

Thanks Henrik :

Yes, the extension is ,bas. I wonder if it has something to do with the computer - -
I am running two other XP's using the same programs, etc. Both work just fine. Perhaps I will try deleting all the related include files and re-load them. This is not the end of the world for me, just a real PITA, not to mention my desire to find out why.

Any reason why you are running such an old OS on the PC's

[ozarkshermit]

No reason at all. I'm satisfied with them.

You do know how vulnerable XP is these days - Updates stopped years ago !

[ozarkshermit]

Thanks . . . If you have anything to contribute to my original question, Thanks again - - else please stick to the topic

Your missing my point. It may be due to the OS that the file can't be opened on that machine, a missing dll file, registry entry for file association, etc...corrupted permission rights (registry again)...

Either try a fresh reinstall of your XP, or update your OS, provided the hardware is supported.
