When you download Enhanced IDE you also need to download IDEwin32lib.zip and place in your IDE folder. Some can get by using Win32lib v60.6 but most need the IDEWin32lib version with contains some win32lib fixes made by Sascha Zindel. If you have your code in .ew files IDE will not know you have done that unless you use ManageIncludeStatements (ctrl-A) and add them to your project. Those statements are added at the top of the generated exw. If you want the .ew statments added after the createEx statements then you would add the statements include whatever.ew in Code Editor for your main window control and General event. Just opening whatever.ew file via Modules does not add to the project. An exception to that is when you SaveAs an .ew file while in Code Editor, you will be asked if you want to add to the project. What that does is add the saved file name to ManageIncludeStatements for you. If you project still does not run and you get an ex.err I can help you more. If IDE gives you an error and will not produce the generated exw and gives you an error message I need to know what that message says. judith evans
