Hi Peter, I use extern all the time, so I think it is caused by something else.

Does this work in isolation for you?

Code: [Select]

Extern STDCALL Lib "kernel32.dll"
  ! GetModuleHandleA
  ! Sleep                   
  ! GetTickCount         
  ! ReadFile             
  ! WriteFile             
  ! CloseHandle           
  ! CreateFileA           
  ! GetFileSize
End Extern

'#recordof GetModuleHandleA
sleep 1000
print hex GetModuleHandleA

This bug is quite a smart one. I have not seen anything like it before. You will have to corner it.

In the declaration I wrote SetFps! I didn't know that we have now upper-case and lower-case differentiation

!

I have found this problem before with some api names....

Charles...
Do you can improve errors messages?

DLL declarations are case-sensitive whenever an alias is not provided. This is the only exception to general case insensitivity.

I often think about ways to improve error trapping and reporting. Should be easier once language development is finished.
