Stephen,
A very common reason for this is that you probably have written code that
refers to a sub that is declared but not actually present.  As an example,
the following:

Declare Sub MAIN
Declare Sub DUH

Sub MAIN
Call DUH
End Sub

---will compile as an MBO.  DUH is declared, but not written.

On the other hand---

Declare Sub MAIN

Sub MAIN
Call DUH
End Sub

---will report errors when compiling.  DUH is called, but not declared.

But the following---

Declare Sub MAIN
Declare Sub DUH

Sub MAIN
Call DUH
End Sub

Sub DUH
End Sub

----will compile as a MBX, even though there's actually nothing in DUH.  I
hope all this helps.  Good luck.
