When I try to include Melba's ArrayMultiColSort.au3 in my large program and the current beta, I get this...

So I thought it must be an incompatibility with the beta.

But if I put just the before mentioned code in a new file, it *does* seem to accept the include in the beta!

Therefore my question...

Guy_,

To where have you downloaded the UDF file? The script folder? The main AutoIt "Include folder? Elsewhere? :huh:

I'm just discovering that I accidentally saved my working test file also in the UDF folder where I had put your UDF, so I guess your include should be in my (program) script folder...?

Sorry, I had not come across this concept before with UDFs...

Is the clue for a User UDF to be put in your own script folder that you use

#include "ArrayMultiColSort.au3"

instead of

#include <ArrayMultiColSort.au3>

...?

Or do you always put User UDFs in your own script folder?

Guy_,

It is not advisable - see the Adding UDFs to AutoIt and SciTE tutorial in the Wiki to understand why - but I cannot see why it should cause a problem. Did the other script also have the #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n line? :huh:

Edit: Just seen your last post. Obviously your first script is not looking in the correct place. Did you use the installer or the zip file to get AutoIt on your system? :huh:

I'm sure I used the installer.

Yes, I copied just the block you see there to a new file.

But that was accidentally saved in the native includes folder, which gave me the clue.

I thought I had seen someone advise to use #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n

www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/125338-compile-for-32bit-on-a-64bit-system

so I hope that is correct?

Anyway, I think it's working now.

Thank you for the Tip and UDF! :)
