David, It is possible to do a Project Link from within UltraEdit. Here is a short description on how to: 1. Create a MBLink.bat file. You could create this file in the main folder of your MapBasic source code. It should contains these lines: @Echo off "C:\MapBasic\MapBasic 7.8\Mapbasic.Exe" -NOSPLASH -L ""%1.mbp"" if exist ""%1.err"" type ""%1.err""
Where C:\MapBasic\MapBasic 7.8\ is the path to your MapBasic compiler/editor. If 2. In UltraEdit goto Advanced > Tool configuration and create a new Tool with these settings: Command Line: "C:\Data\MB_CODE\MBLink.bat" "%rp%rn" Working direktory: "C:\Data\MB_CODE\" Menu Item Name: Link MapBasic Project Save all files first: Checked Command Output: Output to List box Capture Output: Checked where C:\Data\MB_CODE\ is the path to your bat file. Also remember the "" around the file/path 3. Now when you need to use the MapBasic Link, all that is required is that you create a UltraEdit project with the same name (but different extension) as your MapBasic project file, and that you have them in the same folder. I would also recommend that you in general use the UltraEdit projects for your MapBasic application developments as this will keep track of the files etc. When you have created the UltraEdit project, you can go to Advanced > Link MapBasic Project. UltraEdit will then call the bat file and send along the file name of the project, without the extension. The bat file will call the MapBasic compiler with the name of the UltraEdit project + ".mbp" If there was an error doing the link, this error should be shown in your Output window in UltraEdit Isn't this just great ?

This was my first taste of this part of using Mapbasic. The scripts, both mine and the ones installed with Mapbasic were all ok, I just hadn't learned about project linking and this must be done from the two compiled code files. It would also appear part of my problem was that I use UltraEdit to create/edit my scripts and also compile from within UltraEdit. And my setup for using UE does not accommodate project linking. Thanks again, you took a big chance, as they say... "Give a man a fish, you feed him. Teach him to fish... Then ya have to teach him to clean it, and then how to cook it."

So, I deleted the stuff and started over with the original unedited source files: LONGLATS.MB DMSCNVRT.MBP DMSCNVRT.MB When I compile, the only thing created is the DMSCVRT.MBO file. I read a similar post some months ago that "Sub Main" must be declared and it is in the DMSCVRT.MB file. What am I doing wrong?
