Has anyone (newbies) been able to get the first program (MyFirstProgram) to run?

I swear, I have it codeline for codeline, upper/lowercase, all punctuations and it gives me a parsing error on line 55 which is the edtResult line.

Also, the user guide diagrams does not match what shows up in my designer but I can get around it.

Is there a more current guide around anywhere?

I'm new but I was able to get that program to run ok...

Then I must be missing an outside step of some sort because I checked my program line for line against the sample source which does compile and run so I guess I walk away for a moment then come back to it with new eyes.

What error do you get ?
What differences do you see in the 'diagrams' ?
Could you post your project as a zip file (IDE menu Files/Export As Zip) so I could have a look at it.

Best regards.

Hi Klaus and thank you for responding.

This is the error I am getting and I have attached the zip file to this post.

Best regards.

Compiling code. Error
Error parsing program.
Error description: Undeclared variable 'checkresult' is used before it was assigned any value.
Occurred on line: 39
CheckResult

Hi! Line 39 contains "checkresult"... you are missing the sub that corresponds.

Sub CheckResult
   If edtResult.Text = Number1 + Number2 Then
      lblComments.Text = "G O O D  result" & CRLF & "Click on NEW"
      btnAction.Text = "N E W"
   Else
      lblComments.Text = "W R O N G  result" & CRLF & "Enter a new result" & CRLF & "and click OK"
   End If
End Sub

Why is "Then" on that line?

Could you please also answer the above question.

Best regards.

Because I saw something that wasn't there

THANK YOU DroidX; that was it!

MAN! I looked at that code with tooth and nail (whatever that means) and still didn't see that even after I walked away and came back to it.

Thanks again for the extra pair of eyes

Klaus, I apologize for not answering this part in your original request as I overlooked it and quite frankly, I wasn't sure what you were asking when you say "What's different in the diagrams?"

Nonetheless, you probably have read that my problem has been solved.

Thank you for your help.

I was refering to your post #2:

Also, the user guide diagrams does not match what shows up in my designer but I can get around it.

That's why I was asking what is different.

Best regards.

 

[Gmation]

AHHHH, I remember.

It really is not a problem and I am guessing it probably have something to do with the API that I've installed (API15) which is the only one that had Java exe during my install.

There are only very minor differences such as location of options on screen and more options in my designer than what is in the manual.

I won't try to distinguish them unless it becomes a problem.

Thanks again
