It is possible that you have objects in your code.
Those objects will need to be compiled separately,
as RESOLVE_ALL won't see them.
And in the back of my mind (in the reptilian
portion, I think) I vaguely remember a problem
saving a save file directly on the hard drive.
Did this involve a space in the filename...?
I can't remember and can't seem to find a reference
to it. But try saving this into a folder on your
C drive and see if this works.
Cheers,
David
