First, try removing your files one at a time and compile after
each file has been removed. This will point you in the direction
of the file that is causing the problem.
Try commenting out large portions of code compile but leave
all your globals declared and work it that way. If you still
are having problems with the code start commenting out globals.
Remove all of your files again and compile and see if that works.
Make a simple project that has only an alert box and display that
with the new project that you have just created.
The large memory model shouldn't matter with this problem. I have had
problems with globals "seeing" each other across different files and
the way that I have handled that in the past is I make a function and
call the function from one file with the global as a passed parameter
and then equate another global in the next file. Not elegant, but it
works.
Hope this helps.
John.

Subject: Re: Multi Segment weirdness
OK,
Created a new multi segment project and brought in all my files. Made some
changes to the setting and compiled. No problems.
Now... NONE of these lists are working.....
Given the size of my code, Do you think this problem may be solved if I
break up the code further to have each segment no larger than 32K?
Also, I am using the "Large" code model in the settings.. Can this affect
anything?
Also, is there some sort of memory that variables can see eachother or a
range for globals?
Unfortunately, my app is using globals all over the place and I have a very
large app preference struct which is constantly being referenced as a
global.
Thanks for the help.
