Hi netters!
I've been using QuickBasic 4.0 for writing some data collection
programs using the Keithley Quick500 resident software. Every now and
then, These "string space corrupt" errors will rear their ugly head.
I've been trying to determine if it is the fault of QuickBasic or
Quick500.
On my program, I know I'm not doing any PEEK or POKES, and I'm not
sharing variables across modules; so I shouldn't have a mismatched COMMON
problem.
I would like to hear from anyone who has run into the "string
space corrupt" error, and how you solved the problem. I'm banging my
head against the wall!

My solution was to dimension strings to a fixed length before passing them as arguments. See your reference guide under the DIM topic. Hope this provides some insight! :-) -- DISCLAIMER?
