i sometimes get a syntax error at the end of my program. the line highlighted is usually blank. my program often runs smoothly until i add some new things.

Also, what exactly is the cause of a nesting error?

Nesting errors are caused when you put program loops inside other program loops and don't terminate the loops properly.

For example Do must be terminated with a Loop. For N must be terminated with the line Next N (although in reality, a harmless bug in DB means that you can have For N= ... Next P and it will still work).

If blocks must be terminated with Endif and so on.

The following code will cause a nesting error as the For M loop should be terminated with Next N - Not Endif as I have put.
