If it can't find the file, you need to set your paths.

In QB, goto Options/Set Paths:

In the Include Files field, type in the directory where QBX.BI is located.

In the Library Files field, type in the directory where QBX.QLB is located.

Then you have to start QB with the library loaded. To me, the easiest way to do it is to create a shortcut to QB on the desktop.

Right click on the shortcut, then manually add the library name... like this:
Code: Select all
C:\QBX\QBX.exe /L QBX
From now on, when you start QB using that shortcut, it will start with the library already loaded.

CALL ABSOLUTE is in there.

Will that pose a problem when I compile? Or will that sub be included and compiled with it? (This question seems familiar. Sorry if I already asked.)

No. Actually, that '$INCLUDE statement is required for any QB program that uses CALL ABSOLUTE() to run at all.
