Qbasic Program wont run

Post by RichK88 »

I am unable to get this program to work. everything was going good until i added the PRINT stuff so i think that is where mt problem lies. i did it from what i can tell exactly how the book shows it and it still wont run. If anybody can point me in the right direction!

Try using backslashes instead of forward slashes in D1$, and remove the excess spacing for the "Print Detail" label.
