What is the specific error you are getting?

You are remembering your "s, right?

You can write crap in DBPro as well as DBC - it just crashes quicker! -TDK

A couple of tips:

1. Don't use Print - always use Text X,Y,String$ or Text X,Y,Str$(NumVal) for numeric variables.

2. If you are printing on a 3D screen, put all the Text lines at the end of your main loop - after the Sync.

Even on top of a 3D view? Sync updates the 3D display and wipes off the text.

In 2D I don't think it matters, but if you always do Text after the Sync, it should work in all cases.

We'll have to wait and see when (or if) Code eater gets back to us to tell us if it fixed the problem or not.
