Functions at design time

[audiopro]

I am re-creating an app from back ups, following a hardware failure. The app is running ok but I am getting the following error during compilation.

    Unknown REGFN - Undefined
    Unknown CALLFN - Undefined

Foxtools.fll is registered in the startup program of the app and the functions work ok in the app itself but I have to click ignore to get it to compile.
I assume the error is caused by the functions not being registered at the time of compilation but is there a way round this error?

Keith,

You assume correct.

The easiest solution is to execute SET LIBRARY from the command window just before you build the app.

Alternatively, add an EXTERNAL LIBRARY command to your code, at the top of each of the files where the FLL function is called.

Thanks Mike
It is not really a problem to click ignore at compilation it just looks a bit better if the bill payers are looking over my shoulder and not seeing errors.

Keith,

I agree entirely.

That's a good point Mike Y.
I have

SET LIBRARY TO ("z:\foxtools.fll") ADDITIVE

in my 'start program' but it is ignored at compilation time.
Where should I put the command so the compiler can include it?

Keith,

... it is ignored at compilation time.

Are you also executing a CLEAR ALL anywhere? If so, that will clear the SET LIBRARY.

Another possibility (much less likely, I admit) is that you are executing another SET LIBRARY somewhere downstream, without an ADDITIVE clause.

I have a reindex routine which runs each time the server is restarted and that closes and clears everything apart from the drains, so that is the cause.
I hadn't sussed that but makes sense when considered.
I think I'll leave it for now as only 2 'errors' show at compilation and I only change this app occasionally.
Thanks for the advice though.
