If you hit f5, your game will compile and run. If you look in the same directory as your source files, you will see the exe that has been created. Hope this helps.

Look in your Solution Explorer. It will be on the write of the DBP editor and should have a program folder in it. Open the program folder and right click the .dba file and choose Open Containing Folder. That is where your source and exe are stored.

It'll be the one you saved your project in?

You need to save a project file as well as just the source, (I usually press the "Save all" button whenever I start a new project as this saves the .dba and the .dbpro files, but I'm not certain that all of the DBP editors have this feature.), This way when you compile and run the program, your executable will be saved in the right folder, even if it is My Documents

That's why Indigo and BlueIDE are best to use... it only has a Save button and saves the project file first then the actual code.

You only joined 2011 April 29. How come your posts are up so fast? Don't all users have to get their posts approved at first? I believe I took two months.

It's different for each user. I pretty sure mine only took a day after I started posting.

Does the initial moderation period not relate to how many posts you make? like, your 1st ten don't appear until they have been ok'd by a mod, but after ten, then it doesn't matter and they just appear as normal.

I have no clue myself, I can't even remember having a moderation period when I joined. Probably though.
