Got a compile error wit Web3.app  I added String Theory but got error 'Source file web3bc.clw not found'.

See picture.

Does web3bc.clw exist?

Check the solution pad. There should be a list of CLW files there. Sometimes it includes the short name, and the long name. remove the wrong ones and try again.

Or possible your app just needs to regenerate?

Hi Bruce,

I 'Removed' web3bc.clw from the Solution pad and recompiled. Got another 'file missing' error, 'removed' that one and the app compiled and ran ok.

I presume that those files are not necessary - so why are they in the list of things to compile?

Thanks

Keith

Clarion supports "short names" and "long names" at the template level. (Tools / Application options / Generation / Use long file names for generating files). If you upgrade from a clarion (especially clarion 6 or earlier) where the setting is different then the solution can end up with "both sets" of files in the solution.

Most people now have this option turned on (and I do in C9). However I don't touch every example with every build, so I'm not sure that the examples have it set to long names yet.

cheers
Bruce
