    Hi, can you please describe the problem?
    Note that if you tried to attach a screenshot by e-mail it did not work, so I have no information.

    Thanks
    Rob

    Also:

    • please attach the file you were trying to open (using Sourceforge forum from the web, there's an "add attachments" button under the box where you type your message).
    • please describe exactly what you were doing when the problem occurred. If it happened when you typed a command, what command did you type (exactly, including all arguments and parameters etc.)? If it happened in a program, please attach the program here.
    • what operating system do you use?
    • please also try again with the version 15.08.12 and check if the problem occurs there as well

    Thanks
    Rob

    Hello
    Sorry for the missing attachment.
    I added a link which doesn't appear.
    I didn't see the link bellow so I used the "Create link" button in the menu bar of this editor.

    I hope it's better now.

    That's an interesting one. Looks like there are actually three problems here:
    1) It doesn't seem to recognise the file name. Probably there is some error with how it deals with the accented e.
    2) It then tries to do a directory listing, which for some reason fails with an access denied error.
    3) PC-BASIC doesn't expect an access denied error here and crashes.

    I'll have to look into what I can do to solve at least (1) and (3). Not sure why there's an access denied error, but of course it shouldn't crash as a consequence.

    Meanwhile, you can probably access the file by using the short filename of the developpement directory - i.e. the 8-letter name with a ~ in it that you can find by doing dir /x on the Windows command prompt.

    Thank for your answer.
    Yes I can access the file clicking on it.
    And there is not any right restriction on the file nor on the directory.

    Very thanks for your good work.
