BASIC Macros-Unable to load whose dialog is 1

Amber McCullough said:

After running the wincore.bas file and then selecting to open the .clg file, I receive an error message "Unable to load whose dialog is 1"

A MicroStation BASIC macro always has a .bas source code file.  When you first run a macro, it is automatically compiled to a run-time .ba file.

If a BASIC macro has a user interface (i.e. a dialog box) then it is stored directly in the .ba file.  In that case, you must run the .ba file to see the dialog, otherwise you see the error message you quoted.  If you have a BASIC macro that pops a user interface, then the .bas file is insufficient.  It's one of the snags of BASIC that you must keep track of both types of file.

Has anyone had the issue where you load the macro, but it doesn't print the soil layers? prints the symbol and station offset, but not the strata? When I print to PDF in Wincore it does print a bore log. Not sure what is going on. 

Also is there any way to import in OpenRoads? 

Thank You in advance.

Your question is too vague to answer.  What macro are you loading?  How is it connected to this thread?

It looks like you may not be using MicroStation.  Please provide more information.

What is the exact version no. (e.g. v10.x.y.z) of MicroStation that you are using? Use key-in VERSION to see the version no. in the MicroStation Message Center, or Help→About MicroStation in the backstage.

See this blog that shows you how to obtain MicroStation's version number.

If you're using an additional product (e.g. ProjectWise, OpenXxx) let us know about that too!

I am using a .ba file to bring in my bore log files (clg wincore). I am using the Microsoft Basic tool. I am trying to do the same thing Amber did. 

I am using Powergeopak SS10.

MicroStation BASIC has been obsolete for many years.  When Bentley Systems launched MicroStation V8 in 2001 it included both MicroStation BASIC and the much better MicroStation VBA version 6.5.  At that time MicroStation BASIC was deprecated.

When MicroStation CONNECT was launched in 2015, BASIC was not included.  MicroStation VBA moved to 64-bit version 7.1.

Power Geopak V8i SS10 is based on MicroStation V8i.

A .ba file is a  compiled BASIC file.  It may include BASIC dialog resources as well as the code.  What message do you see when you attempt to start that BASIC file?

Where did you obtain that .ba file?  Did you download wincore.bas or wincore.ba?

What is the Microsoft Basic tool?  Is that a typo for MicroStation BASIC or something else?
