Duplicate Definition

Fri, 18 Feb 2000 00:59:26 -0700

I have entered a program in my computer off of the net and when I hit F5 it says "Duplicate Definition". After searching for a while, I cannot locate the problem. It has also done this on a program I am writing now. After searching all of my QBasic materials I find nothing. Can anyone help?

Hello 
 
Most likely you have two variables with 
the same name but which are declared as 
different data types.. 
like: 
 
DIM x AS INTEGER 
DIM x AS SINGLE 
 
wont work because you have already declared 
x AS an INTEGER 
 
Or perhaps you are trying to create 
a SUB, FUNCTION that already is a QB command

Referring to a SUB as a value gives this error.
E.g.
IF asdf THEN STOP
SUB asdf
END SUB
