My program reads: Graphics 1000,500 Const Player1:String = "00000" Const StartX = 500, StartY = 400 Type TPlayer1 Field x,y Field life Field Player1string:String EndType Global player:TPlayer1 = New TPlayer1 Player.x = StartX Player.y = StartY (with some stuff inbetween, but that's all that is important.) whenever I run it, I get the error " Syntax error in user defined type declaration" and the line player.x = startX is highlited... please help

The code above compiles just fine. Evidently some of the code which "isn't important" is more important than you thought, because that's where the error is.

Thanks I found the problem

Just as a little tip.... Using 'Strict' or 'SuperStrict' as the very first line in your programs can highlight these kind of errors during compilation instead of causing little hidden bugs and errors like you had.
