Problem:

Load error : file 'EXTSM'                                                       

error code: 173, pc=0, call=1, seg=0

173     Called program file not found in drive/directory

This error is due to the EXTSM object file not being linked to the executable.

Resolution:

To overcome this problem you need to link EXTSM.OBJ to the EXE.  This can be done  through the BUILD SETTINGS of the IDE in NetExpress or include it in CBLLINK on the command line.

Specifying EXTSM.OBJ in this way, the executable should work correctly within and outside of the IDE.

Attached is a small demo which might help the customer.
