Anyway, I opened your tarball (strangely, I had to use a windows(tm) program, the linux tar did'nt work). The project was'nt running properly; at first it gave the error "Cannot load class FStart". Did you notice that? Then, in sub Main(): STATIC PUBLIC SUB Main() DIM myForm AS Form myForm = NEW FStart myForm.Show END I commented out the last two lines: STATIC PUBLIC SUB Main() DIM myForm AS Form 'myForm = NEW FStart 'myForm.Show END At this point, the program started, but immediately terminated. By executing step by step, I noticed that after executing Main(), which does nothing because of the commented out lines, the program terminated - ie, it never entered the idle loop (the one where the program waits for user interation). Probably a subroutine named Main indicates that the program is embodied inside, and when Main() terminates the program terminates too. Then, I commented out the whole subroutine: 'STATIC PUBLIC SUB Main() ' DIM myForm AS Form ' myForm = NEW FStart ' myForm.Show 'END ... and the program ran. Hope this helps you to understand; I leave to you to discover why the subroutine Main() prevented the program from working (RTFM... :-) either it is a documented thing, or an undocumented one, or a bug). Last thing, if you ask for help, pay attention to all the things that happen. I say so because my customers too many times say "it does'nt work", and it is true, but they do not bother to read messages and other things. You, as a programmer, should have noticed that error message about class FStart, and perhaps should have described differently the behaviour of the program: "it does nothing" it is not the optimal description. Have fun with gambas (and linux...)!
