IDE mode error

[Dimster]

I tried to transfer a large program from a USB stick to the C drive in my computer. When I run the program from the C drive I get an error which reads IDE mode error (Module: ide_methods, on line : 8135). The line in question is right in the middle of a Sub which is a sort routine. Running the same program from the USB drive does not trigger the same error. The WIKI doesn't appear to have this error code in the list. I have tried to re-write the offending line to try to make sure it was copied correctly but that didn't work. Any ideas on what the meaning of this error code is and perhaps how I can fix it?
Thanks

WOW 8135 lines in the middle of a SUB....
you must wait Pete or any other professional coder that can write a so huge code. Maybe he has a direct experience of this issue.

If you copy the file with a different short name, can the result change ?

I'm on my way out Tempodi but I give that a try when I get back tomorrow. I did copy the original program using the same name. Thanks for the suggestion.

I think he's pulling your leg ;-)) because he is having trouble with long names that look like duplicates.

Can't see why copying a program would effect how it ran.  And the lack of drive space can't be it because if there is not enough drive space the file wont be copied at all.

Just taking a guess off the top of my head, I’d say it’s a file access error.  You may need to check read/write permissions.

Yeah, if he popped it onto C: there could be permission issues. Modern OSes these days act like the Führer anymore, not like its 'your' computer or anything you paid for!

I confirm just IF Modern means at least from 5 years ago.
Time ago you should repair the windows registry and you should cancel all that amount of temp files  to seeing your OS like new!
Now you must pray to the God of OSes... the issue is that if you don't know its name you cannot pray it!

If you look in the internal folders, you can find ide_methods.bas.  Going down to line 8134, you’ll see the start of a sub which loads and displays your favorite files (last opened/saved) for you.  The line in question is basically:

OPEN file$ FOR BINARY AS #f

Not much to code incorrectly in that and debug, so the issue has to be folder permissions not allowing for the opening of the file.  Change permissions, or move to a directory with proper read/write permission, and the issue will go away.

Hi you guys, thanks for all the suggestions. I tried them all. And to bplus and tempodi, as owner of the Brooklyn Bridge and part owner of the Eiffel Tower, I am not a gullible person.

The "permissions" seemed to be set exactly the same when I compared both Settings in my computer and Settings in each of the programs via the "Properties". The only thing which changed, was that I had created a new file to accept the transfer of the program, so I deleted everything that was transfered to the  C drive and started over. This time with a straight copy from the USB stick to the C drive and voila, the error no longer appears when I run the program from the C drive.

I'm still not sure why the IDE mode error was corrected. Thanks again for the help - this solution reminds me of that wise IT advice "Well did you turn it off and on again?"
