So it was supposed to be a LONG Type.
Yeah, I edited the frm file many times in a building process as I completely lost my first Frm save by trying to create a folder and save the frm in it at same time and I got some ...FRM and ...BAS crud somewhere along the line, so I started a building process, testing with bas code in file, adding on until I had what I wanted. Somewhere on that way I added OPTION _EXPLICIT and it immediately pointed to the variable not DIM'd in FRM file that stopped my progress until that was addressed, so I put that DIM's variable in from IDE edit of BAS
It would be nice to be able to make a directory to save a project into but the IDE is same way, I should know by now.
I have to say, it is not my way of programming to get the FRM right on the first go or even the 6th.
