Error FOR1533 - bad module file format- Microsoft Developer Studio

[sarvin]

I get the above error " FOR1533- bad module file format" after switching from Compaq Visual FORTRAN to Microsoft Developer Studio.

Any idea what is the problem?

Thanks a lot!

You cannot use module files compiled with Compaq Visual Fortran in Microsoft Fortran PowerStation, which is what I think you are using. You will have to recompile all the source files.

Please note that Microsoft Fortran PowerStation was last released in 1996 and had many, many problems.

Thanks a lot!

What exactly do you mean by recompile all the source files? Do you mean I should compile all the subroutines. But when I am trying to do that it gives me the error.

Thank you,

You have USE statements for modules. You need to recompile all the source files for those modules. Of course, you may run into many other problems - we can't help with PowerStation issues here.

If you want further help with Microsoft Fortran PowerStation, you can ask in the microsoft.public.fortran newsgroup, but there are few people using that buggy product nowadays.
