Can I ask people to give this group a chance, and not to be too quick to criticise?  It's going to take everyone a while to get used to the differences between the way this group works compared with Yahoo!  Of course I understand that a subset of members will criticise any decision I take, and generally do their utmost to make my life a misery.  Sadly the automatic transfer process will have brought them here along with everybody else.  :(

I have gone to the files section and can not see a way to add files, I cant even see any other files, how does it work?

The reason you can't see any other files is that there aren't any yet!  There should be an upload button.

But for 'work in progress' files with only a short lifetime you might prefer to upload them to a cloud storage site (e.g. Dropbox) and publish a public link.

Finally found it to the site, can someone tell me how to post code

You can upload to the group's Files area, but since I've not yet set up a folder structure please try to keep it tidy.  I still hope to transfer many of the Yahoo group's files here, but as it seems that can only be done manually it could take a while!

Thanks Richard, I was just trying to get a message on the board, so it was probably my fault. I will try the files section.

Ric and Robin: if you're posting by email can you please check your settings because everything is appearing (at least) twice!

This group should have the same configuration as the old Yahoo group, so no attachments (they are not much use for those of us who access the group via its web interface!).  Feel free to upload to the group's Files area, although I've not set up a folder structure yet so please be careful to keep it tidy.

Richard.

that is beyond my knowledge, I am computer illiterate when it comes to technical stuff, Is there a way that is simple to share my code?

cheers, I was hoping to send as complete file as code is 42000 chars long

cheers bud,

was there an attachment?

"SendMessage", hbox%, STM_SETIMAGE, 0, hbitmap%"
What is the missing variable? Why does it not run? Help appreciated.

If you add the line
PRINT hbox%, STM_SETIMAGE, 0, hbitmap%
just before the SYS that will tell you which variable isn't defined
by how many items get printed before the error occurs.

Can't see hbox% initialized ......
Hence 'no such variable' ?

Except for file open dialogue box the code below was pasted in from
wiki.
When run "no such variable" is repoted for the line " SYS
"SendMessage", hbox%, STM_SETIMAGE, 0, hbitmap%"

Does the "desk top publisher with spread sheet function ability" support ActiveX (COM automation)?  If it does you should be able to do what you want directly without the complication of using AutoHotkey.  See this Wiki article for how to use ActiveX from BBC BASIC (it's a slight shame you are not using Excel on the PC because the article uses it for its examples):
