I don't understand why I get these errors:
When I don't use any register in that file (it's just an data include file)
Damn, I hit the post button to soon...

Heh, this is where you would write a note in Gunner's MELT tool ;)
If i remember correctly, this is the standard message when the assembler still has
its in head the code segment, and you start adding more data segment definitions
without telling it such ;)
Lemme know if im right, I fell 90% certian tho..

Well, the file where i include CSS.inc looks like this:
.data
include CSS.inc
include HTML.inc
.data?
.codeI just cut and pasted the above include file and put it in my data section include area (on some software im currently writting) and it compiled as soon as i took out the ("...") from the posting ;)
My other guess is your assembly declarations.. do you have:
?
Cause this is all that preceeds your include in my compile.. (which like i said, worked on the first try).
:alright:
NaN
My other guess is your assembly declarations.. do you have:
.386
.model flat,stdcall
option casemap:none?

My first lines in the file assemble the project with looks like this, can it be the option scoped that messes things up?
.386
.model flat,stdcall
option casemap:none
OPTION SCOPED
In an childish attempt to piss ml.exe off I tried to do this:

Should have seen this earlier ( :rolleyes: ). In the same file i used to test your inlcude, i have a simular file for global definitions:
And in the startup code:
Anywho.. there you go...
:alright:
NaN
Global_Begin LABEL BYTE
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;Window Specific Globals
hWindow dd ?
hInstance dd ?
hIcon dd ?
hCursor dd ?

pIAcad dd ?

Global_End LABEL BYTEAnd in the startup code:
.code
start:
;NULL all Global Variables
lea eax, Global_Begin
lea edx, Global_End
sub edx, eax
invoke RtlZeroMemory, eax, edxAnywho.. there you go...

Try placing "assume fs:nothing" just after the start of your code.
Sorry, but I don't understant thas fs has to do with my code, I don't use it anywhere (no SEH).
Well, if using LABEL BYTE cures the problem, the register in question is the CS register. I ran into this with TASM in MASM compatibility mode. A label defined with ':' needs CS assumed to the current segment. (The assembler will try to define the offset of the label using the current CS assumption.)
So when you switch to the .data segment, either 1) you add ASSUME CS:_DATA and reassume to _TEXT when you switch back to .code, or 2) you define the label some other way: LABEL <type> or EQU $.
