This is the main script:

This should work:

Yeah, I know. The 1 and 2 names was just the first letters I saw on the keyboard Laughing

Anyways, when I run your mod in the IDE I get this error:

Yes that was purposely done so that your script can recognize the error
if you're using OPTION ERRORTRAP. Error 11 is just that error and I
chose that one specifically. Wink

If you don't want it to do that just delete ERROR 11 Smile

ok, I removed both error 11 statements and now I see the message "No value for first variable!" twice and then the message "Result is" and no value.

Am I doing something wrong?
There were so many new things in VDS 5 that I've gotten completely confused. Laughing

Er det mon fordi du bor i Bergen, at du opretter en funktion med navnet "Regn"???

He he he latterkick.

I didn't see that you were from Denmark. Laughing

At first I thought you used a website to translate from English to Norwegian Smile

And yes, I called the function "Regn" because I was just experimenting with the include feature in VDS. I usually only write in english, but as this was only supposed to be a short and quick test, I used Norwegian. Laughing

What does "Regn" mean in English? Smile

Hey FF!

Getting curious, eh?

Well 'regn' just means 'rain' (in Norwegian and Danish) - and I was joking about Geotrail using that name for
a function, because the Norwegian town 'Bergen' where Geotrail lives has quite a reputation for having the
highest number of rainy days in all Scandinavia. I think it's raining there about 200 days every year Laughing

(please correct me if I'm wrong, Geotrail)

Probably G. wasn't thinking about the weather, however, because 'regn/regne' also means 'calculate'.

That's the end of today's language lesson Wink

No you are right Dr. Dread. But compared to London than Bergen is way down on the rainy list Laughing

Actually, Regn means several things. What I inteded it to mean was more of a math meaning. "Regn=Regning" which in english basically means calculas or math. I think Laughing

Anyways, Since I was making a simple math function I figured it would be a good name for the function hehehe

Oh yeah, thanks to Serge for helping me finding the bug in my program which I call Search Assistant. It's almost finished now, no it won't be open source. Besides, it's too simple for opensource Laughing

But it is my first program in VDS. I started on it when I used VDS 4.5 and I had some problems getting it to work in VDS 5. If you want to test it in it's current form let me know and I'll post a link. It is just a simple and quick way of doing searches. I have added 23 search engines in the program so you just type in a search term and select the engine of choice and click enter and it opens your default browser with the search engines page and result.

It also keeps tracks of the last used engine using registry and counts how many times each engine has been used along with a total counter for all engines. Wink

It's very simple, and when I started it I didn't really know much about VDS. But the people who have tried it so far when it was wrking said it was a very usefull utility to have in the quick launch.

Actually I do have one problem I want to fix.
I've added all graphix and external text files using #resource.
But if I do this:

Tommy · Posted: Mon Jun 30, 2003 9:41 am Post subject:

See the helpfile: Reference Manual->Compiler Directives->#RESOURCE. There the commands
that will work with resources are listed. Commands not included in the list are not likely to be
capable of working with resources.

Chances are that this will work:

So does that mean I can essentially add a binary resource like:

No it won't work with that method. You need to extract the dll out before calling it.
