"Tools" -> "Compile" greyed out

[everest]

Don,

I've got a user that's trying to compile some new code for our project, and he's working against a fresh install of the Zbasic IDE. He can open up the .bas file, and identify the ZX24p fine. . .but the "Tools" "Compile" option is greyed out. . .can't click it. I'm just totally stumped. . .any ideas?

I've attached a screen shots.

P.S. He's running Windows XP 32 bit, so nothing fancy.

the "Tools" "Compile" option is greyed out.

If you've loaded a project, you should use Project | Compile. The Compile entry on the Tools menu is intended to compile a single file rather than an entire project. See the last post on the thread at http://www.zbasic.net/forum/about191.html for more information.

That's the puzzler, it's not a project file, just plain old .bas file. I had him create a Hello World .bas file, which compiled fine. . .programmed fine, then REOPEN our applications .bas file. . .and it worked. . .go figure!
