.bal file not found?

[curioussavage]

hello! I am very new to both programming and basic4android. I hope there isnt a thread on this topic already but I searched for a while and I didn't even know what to search for.

trying to make an app with 4 screens and ran into a problem. when I try to run the app now it says it cant find the .bal file associated with the layout for the first screen. however when I look in the folder the file is there. all I did was add a few more modules and set up the buttons that link to them and after that it stopped working. I just don't understand how it doesn't work anymore since I haven't messed with that section of code or the file. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am trying to learn as I go so I still only have basic vocabulary for programing and 4 basic as well. below is what the debugger showed:

This is the error:

Field search was declared with the wrong type.

There is a view named search in your layout. There is also a global variable named search and it is not of the same type.

thank you so much. I was not reading the error correctly.
