I am very new to VB, I been trying to follow tutorials to make my first basic apps.. I can get the look and all that done fine.. but I cant get it to actually work, right now I am trying to make a text editor and I cant get the save, new ect funtions to work, when I try to run them it gives me this error... Compile error: sub or function not definded.. any one know whats causing this? I have tired a few dif tutorials all same thing and I have re done them from scratch still nada dome some reading in the help on this error still havent fixed the prob..

Any one know whats causing this? I also tried to load in the complete script but get an error trying to open it.. I finally got a newer version of VB was using 4.0 before picked up 5.0 Pro real cheap until I can save up and buy 6.0.. would this be the problem using 5.0?

If you get the error sub or function not defined, it means that you are making a call to something that isn't there. Most of the time, this is a typpo. This has got absolutely nothing to do with the version of VB.
Another common mistake that causes this behaviour is when just typing the name of a control, without anything else, like when you are typing the name of a label, and halfway, you go and check something else in the code and forget to complete your line.

private Sub DoSomeThing()
' some code here
End Sub
private Sub Command1_Click()
DoSomething ' no problem
DoSimething ' sub or function not defined
Label1.caption = "Test" ' again, no problem
Label1 ' sub or function not defined
End Sub

Still no luck getting this fixed.. I created a another text editor with just 1 option save and just trying to figure out how to get that 1 thing working.. You can D/L and look what I have done so far and see for your self what I am doing wrong..
