I That is because you need to load the assembler interface. when you invoke QB, use the /L command line parameter, ie: QB myprog /L In "myprog.bas", include the header for QB.QLB like this ' $include: 'qb.bi' Those two things will get you past your "sub not found" error and let you try to debug your hardcode inline machine language :-) --- OPMED 3.00 * Origin: The Loft *HST/DS/V42bis* [NC, SDS] (1:236/7)
