HELP!!!  I get this message when I compile a program and then run it:

        Illegal function address call in module TEXT at address 0F23:0806
Hit any key to return to system.

        "Text" is the name of the EXE.  I am using QB 4.5 and it works fine
running the BAS... it doesn't work fine running the EXE.  I have only
run this in a DOS under Windows 95.  ANY help would be appreciated.

This is an educated guess. This error message indicates memory
corruption. Memory corruption results from writing data over
a memory address where it shouldn't be writing, such as in the
Interrupt vector table, or a code segment.

The kinds of keywords that can result in memory corruption (when
misused) are: POKE, BLOAD, DEF SEG, and such like. Are you
using assembler routines anywhere? They are a prime suspect.

A possible reason why your program runs in the IDE, but not
as an EXE, is that in the IDE it is overwriting a different
portion of memory that does not cause the error to occur.
