I tryed to write a function via a external source file for the image loading part of my program. However, even when I include the image variables apon calling the function ( editorloadimg(x,y,z...) ) I get a paramater missmatch error "load image expects integer". If I replace the variables with numbers, the function works, and the images load fine. I even tryed declaring the variables inside the function right before loading the images, still gave me the error.

It has to be possible to use variables inside functions. What am I doing wrong?

I had a strange problem like that, except whenever I would try to modify a variable value in a function it would always screw up.

And for some reason I am getting strong sense of deja-vu posting this message... hmm..

Hmm I think i may just be doing things wrong. In db classic this is how I did it...

`rem MAIN SOURCE
#include "load.dba"
imagenum = 1
load(imagenum)

`rem FUNCTION SOURCE
load(imagenum)
load image "grass.jpg",imagenum
endfunction

But this doesnt seem to work in dbpro. What SHOULD the code look like if I wanted to keep all my 'load image' commands in a seperate source file?

Try removing the #include statement, and use the editor to include source instead.

Hit Shift-F3, and then use the Browse button to locate the source file.
