Just curious. Easy quesiton, that's why it's in the newbie section :roll:
well, I have a 103KB file that I have downsized from 150KB (pretty good, right?) but it's still too big to compile, so I was wondering how big the smallest possible ... filesize... would be. Yeah.

A Severe Error has crippled BB2 for the time being... I have to figure it out, but until then you won't see much of it

I dunno, but I'm sure you could make it smaller...
Let's have a look.........

There is no minimum size of the source. What limits the ability to compile is the compiled size, it must be <64K.
Try to make any redundant code into SUBS or FUNCTIONS, make $DYNAMIC all arrays and move all DATA into an external file. If this is not enough, you will have to split your source into several modules.

Antoni I am not too sure that the compiled file size must be <64k since I have a source file which is 129K and it compiles just fine.

If you have a compiled file of 150 Kb why do you say you can't compile?
EDITED:
OOps! Wrong person. Excuse me, Aga, I thought you were Nova. I was on the job and i had the avatars column masked,pretending I was in a serious site :rotfl:

I didn't say that.
A 160k or so compiled program of mine won't compile in qb45. I don't think it is the file size. I think it is some qb limit on some program element.. I don't know what though.

QB Limits:
CS = 64K
DS = 64K
I think 8)
