We just switched to Windows 7 and are using NetExpress 5.1. Under XP when I would compile a program I would see error messages in the Build window along with the red X's on the lines where the error is encountered. I know I can point to the red x to see the error but really miss the list of errors in the build box. Do we have a setting that is incorrect?

In the Net Express IDE select Options-->Project from the menu and then check the Verbose Build Output option.

Now when I build now it only tells me REbuild complete with errors. I still do not see the error messages themselves.
I usually do not use a project and now I am wondering if this was something that was a directive for compiling a single COBOL program...Do you know Chris?

Actually errors should always be displayed in the build window even when the Verbose Build option is off. The verbose just causes more information to be output.
Do you have a project open or just a single source program?
Try using Rebuild All from the Project menu.
Any different?
What wrappack level are you on? Look at Help-->About Net Express and tell me the full version number.
Thanks.

No difference:
Starting rebuild
Checking dependencies for DEBUG\\MAINT01_v2.INT
Dependent file C:\\COBOL\\MAINT01_v2.CBL
Rebuilding C:\\COBOL\\MAINT01_v2.CBL
Rebuild complete with errors
is all I get. I don't see the actual errors listed.
Version is 5.100.0157

I do have this program in a project. But it seems to make no difference if I compile in the project or as a single program.

The version that you report 5.100.057 is the original base release of Net Express 5.1 with no fixes applied.
I am not really sure how you even installed this version under Windows 7 as the install should have failed.
We had to create a new installer for 5,1 so that it would install successfully under Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
The new version with this new installer was 5.101.0074.
We are currently on wrappack 7 which is 5.107.0047 and can be downloaded from our Product Updates site here.
Wrappack 7 has to be installed over wrappack 6 and wrappack 6 is a full install.
I would recommend the following:
Uninstall your current version of Net Express but retain the license when prompted.
Download NX wrappack 6 from the product updates site and install it.
Download NX wrappack 7 from the product updates site and install it.
You should then have the most current software for NX 5.1 and it should run fine under Windows 7.
