My XP computer was killed by a lightning strike. New computers only have windows 7 and I had many Qbasic programs written in order to trade commodities. Had to hunt and found DOSBOX and QB64. QB64 set up easily and once I figured out it was creating run anywhere *.exe files I was hooked. I have a question which I'll post in the Forum when I find out how to do that, but the reason I came was to discover why when I have a line (Chain FileLocation$ + "file.csv") I get the error (Unable to find "file.csv.bas"). Why the ".bas"?
Anyway I am 71 years old and have been programming since the early 80's having found Qbasic and Excel enough for my needs. I now mainly monitor the markets and play golf, and keep up with the horrible situation the governments of the world have foisted on the taxpayers with their socialistic/welfare/entitlement/wars etc., but I'll keep most of that to myself unless provoked LOL. Glad to be here. Hope to get my question answered and to learn something.
