The problem I have is that that code below works perfectly under the interpreter, but when compiled does not save the file, yet there is no run time error when running the compiled version.

delete file "hiscore.dat"
open to write 1,"hiscore.dat"
write float 1,hiscore#
close file 1

If anyone can help I would be grateful

Maybe is't saving it into the compiled program.
Are you makeing a final (with media) or just an exe.

In your game...save the high score and then try to load it.

Or

Try:

I admire your honesty. Hell, I like you; you can come over to my house and ---- my sister!

Are you making the sure the file doesn't exist before you try to open the file for writing?

He has "delete file" and it doesn't give him a runtime error.

First, you should have:

If File Exist("hiscore.dat") Then delete file "hiscore.dat"

... just in case the file isn't there.

Secondly, (and possibly the cause of your problem), are you using F7 to compile? If so, try deleting the hiscore file before compiling.

Maybe this file is being compiled into the exe and when you write out the file in your program, it's writing out the data - but not to the file you think it is...

Mmmm... yes, I'm afraid it's getting a bit behind schedule.

I'm having a few problems at the moment integrating newly created VanTrans textures in real-time. I'll have to amend the info on the web site to avoid further confusion...

Sorry about that.
