Hi,  
Please help. I just started getting an error: Source file Edit.clw not found’ when compiling my app. I’m using Clarion 9.0.10376. I’m not sure what I did or added to the app to get his error. The app had been compiling without an error all along and it does not have source file by this name.

I would do a KSS search of all of your MEMBER statements

Do you have an ICON() attribute on a window control with a filename called ‘edit’?

Thanks for highlighting an ICON() attribute as the cause of the problem. After checking all the procedures I had worked on recently, I identified a procedure with some icons that was throwing a compiler error. So I copied back the original procedure, recompiled and the error disappeared.
