you pretty much have to write your own error trapping code.

Alright, think I discovered the problem I was ahaving, when loading the media, the full path is seams to be required.

"C:\\Documents and Settings\\Owner\\My Documents\\Visual Studio Projects\\test8\\Debug\\media\\scout\\scout.x"

not just the

"media\\scout\\scout.x"

models loading now.

Any other thoughts?

You do realise that PC pathing could exceed 256 characters ? You should be using MAX_PATH...

Neverheard of that one before, I though 256 characters was a large pretty good. What function should I look for that under?

MAX_PATH is a windows #define. Just include windows.h and you'll get the definition.

It is possible to get DBPro error codes using the globstruct. I don't know if I've posted it before, but you do it like this:



If it's non-zero, then an error occurred - if you don't have DBPro, then the list is in the attachment, in the RUNTIME section of the file. The SDK should work in exactly the same way, although I've never actually tried it.

The forums here are very spaghetti like - they have strings everywhere. Just finding the bit of information can be daugnting at times. But atleast we are keeping things hopping today.

Thanks for the bit of advice.I am not (entierly) new to C, but I lack the profesinal education (colledge), mostly tool around to what I have had time to experiment with.

Part of coding is learning the behavior of the tools you are using, better you understand it the more you get out of it.
