I seem to always get a nesting error and I cant fix it. I check all my code, looks right. Could someone please tell me what it means?

Try posting your code, so others may look at it, to try & figure out what you have problems with. There are millions of combos with codes, its hard to us to know, when we cant see any code.

this means that you've not closed either
function... endfunction
while... endwhile
if... endif
do... loop
case... endcase
for... next

the editor will highlight the line which it occurs on, so reread your code carefully

i tend to get this problem (even after 4years) when i do lots of IF statements in each other, don't add the right ammount of ENDIFs

i'd suggest whenever you start something which needs to be ended - indent ( TAB ->| ) and then when you close goto the next free line and then press ( <- Backspace )

allows you to keep better tabs on if something is closed or not

usually means you left off a do or loop or a part to a multi function command.

I usually create an EndIf Straight away and then put the code inside. For instance, I'd type:



Then go in and put the code or more if's:



Doing that I usually never forget an EndIf because you put it in straight away. It's also good to comment the EndIf's if you have lots nested or near eachother like above.

That's just my style though and a suggestion if you have lots of problems - it's something I brought over from VB which is why my only problem with If Statements is sometimes I type "End If" with a space.

Or if you use DarkEdit and DB Classic you can use the built-in command blocks. (ctrl-J I think)

You'll never forget that Endif again

Gah, I never knew that and I use them. All the wasted "EndIf" typing time, lol. Thanks though.

Putting comments in my DBPro code like that will cause errors.

P.S. This is what the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.
