Unable to Open Include File

[ozarkshermit]

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.

It's extremely unlikely to be your operating system. The most likely cause is a minor typo in the file name, or path. ( a"," instead of a "." for example can be hard to spot. Other than that, it's pretty bulletproof.
