The reason the program doesn't appear to do anything is:
1. Whenever a program goes to the end of the code it automatically exits. You will notice that there is no wait commands or loops, so all the code simply executes and the program ends. If you want the program to remain running, add a "wait key" command at the end of the code.
2. The reason you don't see anything on the screen, is because there is no commands to display anything to the screen, which makes adding the "wait key" command (above) pointless because you won't see anything anyway.
most of the code examples that go with the commands in DBPro, aren't actually meant to be executed. They are there to show you how to use the commands, (i.e. They are there for you to look at the source code, and learn from IT, not from the program that is generated.)
WHY YOU CAN'T FIND .EXE
When you load that code into the editor, it isn't an actual PROJECT, so the .exe isn't saved to the folder where you find the code. The .exe should be located in your "Dark Basic ProfessionalTEMP" folder.
The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
