Thanks for everyone's help. I split my program into 11 modules including the main module and the program compiles great....
...BUT....
When I go to run the program, an error message comes up saying:
Quote:Out of Memory in module xxxx, at address xxxx:xxxx
So, to check the size, I right-click the .exe file and it says that it is 209KB; however, just before I compiled the program, it said that it was 28KB. What happened?

in the first line of that module, if not the rest of them too. (However, I'd be real surprised if you actually need 11 modules. You're quite industrious.

Lol, maybe so. I'll try doing what you suggested to see if it works. I split the program into 11 modules just to be sure that it will work.

Well, I tried it, and sadly, it did not solve the problem. I get the same error message as before, and the .exe file is 210KB.
Any more ideas anyone?

* Use less globals (when they are arrays that are just used somewhere and you can get rid of when not used).
* Use less intermodule globals.
* Load stuff into arrays just when you are going to use them , then erase the arrays.

Out of memory errors in runtime come from too much dynamic data being allocated (too much arrays, or too big arrays).
Also, 210 Kb is HUGE

What's bigger than huge? I have programs that take up over 400 KB for just data.

I mean huge for QB standards. Huge compared on what I've seen. Huge compared on what I've got. I've only seen one or two QB EXEs that pass the 200 Kb barrier.

My Exe is 209kb and it runs without a hitch. So may be he can post his code so that we can see what exactly are the definations. 8)

The problem has been solved. It was an array that I was reserving too much space for; I should have known that was the problem. :o
