Well... I still get the same error even if I try: #inclib "epcdll" or if I try declare function EPC9_DLLVersion lib "epcdll" () as integer or if I try declare function EPC9_DLLVersion lib "epcdll" alias "EPC_DLLVersion" () as integer And what really seems strange is that if I leave off the #inclib a...

Command executed: "C:\Program Files\FreeBASIC 185\fbc.exe" "C:\Documents and...

Calstover..... Tried your suggestion, but the Open File Dialog Box only listed the first file_type option in the drop down menu (i.e only *.TXT), and even worse, the folder listing was for all file types (*.*), not just *.TXT. Here's a partial listing of the modifications I tried. (PARTIAL CODE) dim...

Thanks Zippy. Your code did the trick with TopMost.

Thanks for the Open File Dialog Box tip. I'm quite experienced with QB45, new to Freebasic, and a total newbie for Win API calls. I tried to modify your code to pass the argument for .lpstrFilter = Strptr(!"All Files, (*.*)\0*.*\0Bas Files, (*.BAS)\0*.bas\0Dat Files, (*.DAT)\0*.dat\0\0") as a string...
