While compiling to a library I have the following code:

'$include:'lib.qbi' 'contains the declares

FUNCTION OpenFile(FileName AS STRING)
OPEN FileName FOR OUTPUT AS #1
END FUNCTION

While doing the compile I get a 'Duplicate definition', for no reason 'cause there is no duplicate. Any suggestions?

I've loaded qb 7.1 with qbx /l

do you by chance have your function declared as a different type in your include (ie.) declare function OpenFile%(FileName as string)

if so you need the % or whatever type declaration is being used in the include on the end of the function name.

Everything is without $, %, etc... double checked... I've thrown it away and started all over... if it happens again, I'll post it...
