Re: In need of help

Specific questions would probably be better received, rather than "please debug my code for me"...

Re: Please debug my code for me

While your post is better than those who ask us to write a homework assignment from scratch...I have to agree with KesleyK here...

Please describe the nature of the your bugs. Is the program crashing? Is it just giving bad data? What kind of dataset are you using? etc.

Re: Please debug my code for me

I had a quick look at the code, first of all there is no startup form or sub main(). Add this to your modMain:
<pre>
Sub main()
frmMain.Show
End Sub
</pre>
Also, the path pointing to your data files is fixed to the A drive, that's a no no. try this:

Open App.Path & "\rates.dat" For Input As #1

App.Path is the path that your .EXE or .VBP started in.

Also I found much to many global and modular level variables, I didn't really go into details but I find there are too many for a small project.
