Just wanted to let you know about some weird behaviour with one particular project.
I wanted to look at the code at
http://www.planetsquires.com/protect/forum/index.php?topic=2020.msg17110#msg17110
I downloaded the file, unziped it and clicked on the fgrid.ffp file (I have a file
association set for ffp files to open with FF3) FF3 opened the file and gave
me a message saying something like the file is a FF2 project and needs to converted
to FF3 so I said yes. When I tried to compile again I got another error message saying
Powerbasic 9 is not configured (can't rememeber exactly the message). I then went to
Tools-Enviroment Options PBWIn9 settings and found all the entries where blank!. I
then ran FF3 again, loaded the project in FF3, compiled and ran fine. I then decided
to double click on the Fgrid.ffp instead running FF3 and then loading the project, the
project loaded, compiled and ran fine. I went backwards and forwards a few times
using the same project and got the same error message saying PBwin is not configured
(yet its already configured and the paths are already set when you rerun FF3)
and at times I get another message about no start up Form.
I then went to my Laptop which I downloaded the same project from the Forum, unziped it
and tried to compile, I now get a message saying ERROR 524 Undefined Type showing
Local pKey As FIRETEXTBOX_KEYPRESS Ptr as the fault.
Its weird I have never had this type of problem before till I tried this particular
project, yet everthing else works and compiles fine.
Using XP SP3. FF3 3.04
Thanks

Hi Peter,
I believe that someone else has also reported the project file association problem. I have it in my bug tracker to look at. More than likely the project directory is not being set correctly when the project is loaded via the file association method.
The FIRETEXTBOX_KEYPRESS issue is because you do not have the latest FireTextBox custom control files. I made a modification for Bob and posted it at http://www.planetsquires.com/protect/forum/index.php?topic=2084.msg16878#msg16878 The change will be in the v3.05 update when it is ready.
Yes, I had mentioned this in this thread already:
http://www.planetsquires.com/protect/forum/index.php?topic=2117.0
You need to start an instance of FF3 and then select the project. Otherwise FF3 will not compile. It also will not find any files in the Functions Library.
Thanks for that Guys
