About Don Schullian Expertise I`ve worked in BASIC since the Commodore days and maintain a web site part of which is devoted to helping others with thier problems. I`m proficient in all versions of PowerBASIC but cross over to QuickBASIC and Qbasic frequently.
Question Hello!
I have a compiled quickbasic program that runs on my machine, the machine that created the *.exe file. However, it will not run on a similar machine if I take the file to that hard drive. I compiled it as a "stand alone" module and also as a module requiring BRUN.EXE. Any suggestions?
Answer Welcome, Dennis, to the Wild World of Programming! ;)
That said there is no "logical" reason for what you're telling me to happen. 9 out of 10 times things like this are caused by something buried in the code.
a) Are the files on the 2ed machine in the same directories as on the other machine?
b) Is there the same (or more) memory on #2 as on #1?
c) Does the code search for a serial # of the machine?
d) Are you 100% sure you've got <<all>> the files the program would be looking for transferred to #2 and in the same directories?
e) Are both machines running the EXACT SAME O/S?
These are the only questions I can think of. If you've qualified them all then I've no idea what's going on.
