Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

■ Visual Basic cannot find a path to the file name you
  specified in the dialog box. Visual Basic may have also
  looked along other paths, depending on the file-name
  extension. For example:
 
    • Paths specified by the Set Paths command from the
      Options menu.
 
    • Paths specified by MS-DOS environment variables PATH,
      INCLUDE, or LIB.
 
■ Note: If the file name is 8 or fewer characters with no
  period, Visual Basic assumes the extension .BAS. If the
  file name is between 9 and 11 characters, Visual Basic puts
  a period after the eighth character.
 
■ Possible solutions:
 
  • Make sure you spelled the file name correctly in the
    dialog box.
 
  • Adjust the path specification in either the Set Paths
    dialog box or the MS-DOS environment variable.
 
■ If you need additional help, move the cursor to a keyword
  and press F1 to open the Help window.
