Today my work was terminated by strange messages from FireFly (compiler log not found) and PBWin (cannot access compiler results) which I started by the PB editor. I stoped the virus protection software, but the result was the same. Rebooting the PC did not help, but modifiying the compiler directives resulted sometimes in a successful compiler run. Two other big projects did compile correctly. I expect a problem in my software is raiseing an incorrect compiler message.
PC: HP Elite 7300, i5 CPU, 16GB Ram, 750 GB HD, Win7 Prof 64 Bit
Software: Firefly 3.61, WINAPI III 1.04, PBWin 10.03
Are there limitations in FireFly?
max number of forms? max number of controls? max level of nesting forms?
What can I do to solve this problem?
Thank you,
Klaus
PS. I am waiting for a response of the the PB-support.

There are no artificial limits in FF3. You can have as many forms/controls as you want.

Tough question to answer. You could try moving your project to a new folder/directory and see if that helps. FF3 attempts to read the log file that the compiler generates after the compile completes. Something must be happening that is invalidating the folder location or causing the log file not to be created.
Thank you, Paul!
Today Powerbasic responded to my support request. They expect, the problem is caused by my antivirus protection software, even if was deactivated.
I will install my complete FireFly / PB environment to a vitual machine, which is only running this development environment. There will be no software which will have a negative influence (firewall, antivirus protection etc.) to the PB compiler.
Perhaps this will solve my problem.
