Very new to DBPRO - trying to find out if anybody knows if the apostrophe is an acceptable replacement for REM statement
or is it only usable in DB Classic? Some code that I have imported has the single apostrophe as the REM statement and it runs fine.
If I try to use it , it fails, but REM works fine....?[

As far as i know you can't use an apostrophe in DBPro. Thats if your talking about the one thats on the @ key. What you need to use is the key above the tab key. See if that works.

Cheers,

Michael

Also forward tick/rem are commands in DBP and not compiler directives. So...

if bubba = 0 ` check for bubba

will get you in trouble, but...

if bubba = 0 :` check for bubba

is OK. This trips up a lot of people with VB experience.
