I am writing a new game and when I compile the program which runs fine in the interpreter I get this error. I have the GfaWin23.ocx in the folder the program is getting run from, other compiled programs still run fine and I even tried rebooting the computer and re-compiling the game but still get the error. Please help...TIA Attachments:

Have you got any Iif statements in your program? If so, check that the second and third parameters do NOT contain functions. This can cause errors when compiling.

I will look into that however the compiler runs fine with no errors but the error occurs when I try and run the .EXE

Does your code compile and run OK on another PC?

I will look into that however the compiler runs fine with no errors but the error occurs when I try and run the .EXE Try putting $ManifestOff at the head of he code and compiling again. If error doesn't re-occur with this EXE then your problem may be with your manifest file. |

It did not run on another PC either. All my other games ran fine on both PCs. I also tried reinstalling GB32 and compiling other games and all worked fine. This morning I had an epiphany right when I woke up (this is common for me). I titled the game Roll & Deal XX.EXE. When I changed the & to the word AND all worked as it should. Crisis over until the next weird thing happens.

Yesterday...
I thought of mentioning the &. Honest!
( but then I checked with BING first and it said it was fine.)
Today...
So, I created a "Hello World!" app and included an '&' in the filename...
Compile & Run...
Ah! The 'Side-by-Side Error' appears!
I tried renaming an existing .exe file to include an '&'...
For example: FarnBenchmark.exe to FarnBenchmark & Copy.exe
and this does indeed still work.
Conclusion:
Don't use '&' in the filename while compiling with GB32, you can rename the exe filename later if you want.
This is a worthy Did You Know if I ever did see one!

I think just to be safe in the future I will stay away from any of those type of characters in file names. Finding this was a bit exhausting.
