I am running Visual studio 2012 VC 2.2.  I can open a DS screen in some folders that were done in netexpress, but I have two solutions that if I try to open the .GS file I get the following error:

If I move that .GS file to a different folder that has a different netexpress solution in it, it works, as does all the other .GS in that folder.

What do I have setup wrong?

Your error message is not being displayed in the post, Can you please tell me what error you are getting?

Some .gs files have resources in them that are hardcoded to be in a particular location such as bitmaps, icons, font files, etc. If they are moved you might get an error that it cannot find the resource.

Open the gs in the Dialog Painter and look at the resource page to see if it is dependent on any files.

sorry, but we can't see the error! But Netexpress 5.x and visual Cobol are different products!

Hi greiner,

I believe that you are responding to the wrong post here. I was replying to kpeters913 on a new issue. Your original post was titled Dialog System. Please post the correct thread so this doesn't get confusing.

the error is (in german Version): unbehandelte Ausnahme ("COBOL runtime: Fault detected") in DSWIN.exe [7340], then a Debugger will start, but with MicroFocus oder Microsoft Code.

After this a new Windows come: DSWin.exe - Applcation Output:

Execution error: file 'oleclnt'

error code: 114, pc=0, call=1, seg=0

114 error message text not found (Signal 11)

kpeters913,

This means that you have a mix of VC and NX compiled programs in your folders, most likely these are .EXEs or .DLLs compiled with NX 3.1. Since your main program is compiled with VC 2.2 it loads that run-time but then it is loading a NX .program that requires a different run-time.

You must recompile all source programs using VC 2.2. If you have any NX run-time files in your VC solution folders then you must remove them.
