Error 478

[Michael Meeks]

Ok, I'm Stump'd... What am I forgetting?

RC - created res file ok!
PBRes - created pbr file ok!

Compile the program! Error 478

What gives?
Here's the code:

#COMPILE EXE
#DIM ALL
#REGISTER NONE
#RESOURCE "MEEKS.PBR"
#INCLUDE "win32api.inc"

FUNCTION WINMAIN ( BYVAL hCurInstance AS LONG, _
                   BYVAL hPrevInstance AS LONG, _
                   lpszCmdLine AS ASCIIZ PTR, _
                   BYVAL nCmdShow AS LONG ) AS LONG

    DIM fRes AS LONG
    DIM hRes AS LONG
    DIM pMem AS LONG PTR
    DIM szText AS ASCIIZ PTR
    DIM id AS STRING
    
    '// Look this up in your resource part.
    fRes = FindResource ( hCurInstance, "MYDATA", BYVAL %RT_RCDATA )
    IF fRes = 0 THEN EXIT FUNCTION

    '// It must be loaded in your address space.
    hRes = LoadResource( hCurInstance, fRes )
    IF hRes = 0 THEN EXIT FUNCTION

    '// Now you have a pointer to your resource data in memory.
    pMem = LockResource( hRes )

    '// Just one way to retrieve it..
    '// This could be a pointer to a struct of course.
    szText = pMem
    id = MID$(@szText,1,32)
    
    MSGBOX id

    FUNCTION = 1

END FUNCTION

' RC File
'
'   MYDATA RCDATA "RCTest.bin"
'

' Error Message: Error 478 in F:\RCTEST\RCTEST.BAS (47:1)
'                Resource file error line 47  
' Note: There is no line 47!
'

Thanks

Found the Answer:

By copying the WIN32API.INC FILE to
my F:\RCTEST\ Directory, it compiles just fine.

However, I compile other files just fine without doing this...
Strange...Win2k Bug

Thanks All

It really sounds like something else was happening there...

An Error 478 means the PBR file was not actually "valid" or was missing from the /I (include options) path in the IDE. Possibly the "current" IDE directory was wrong when you want to compile the .BAS file?
