Use of subs in other folders

[janvanderpeet]

I have a project with two subfolders: LIBBAS and LIBFILES. The files in LIBBAS use subs that are in LIBFILES. I use REM $INCLUDE : with the path to the file of interest in LIBFILES, but get constantly a message $Metacommand error.
How can I achieve that the files in LIBBAS can use subs in LIBFILES.
Thank you.

Just set the LIB environment variable to the path of the LIBFILES directory. i.e., from the DOS prompt, do "SET LIB=C:\qb\LIBFILES;%LIB%"

Code:

'$INCLUDE: 'LIBFILES\MYLIB.BI'

should work

actually, since I think the dir structure looks like this:

rootdir\
libfiles\
libbas\

you would need to do:

Code:

' $INCLUDE: '..\libfiles\mylib.bi'

Code:

' $INCLUDE: '..\libfiles\mylib.bi'

blargh... I put the wrong thing in my first post - it should be the INCLUDE environment variable if you're trying to $INLCUDE files, but LIB for linking in libraries in another dir.
