Logic Problem

[kaylabear]

Hi everyone,

I'm having a real problem trying to recompile my source code on an earlier version of windows. Initially I designed my program on windows XP, but I am now trying to recompile it on windows 98.

The following error message occurs on this line:

Open "display.html" For Output As #1

--> Identifier under cursor is not recognized.

Now I'm really stumped as to why I get this error message when I'm compiling on a windows 98 machine and not a windows XP machine, as both computers have the exact same Visual Basic 6 program on them.

If anyone can offer some insight, I would really appreciate it, THANKS.

check your curdir in the debug window (?curdir) and see what it is pointed to. If it is a system folder then that may be your problem. You will then need to add a path to your open statement, maybe App.Path or whatever.

Good Luck

Just another thought. It's bad practice to say Open "filename" for Output as #1

You should get a freefile number. THat way if the filenumber is in use you won't have overlaps.

Try this instead.
[tt]
Dim FileNum as Integer
FileNum = FreeFile

Open "filename" for Output as #FileNum
