Thanks David,
Yes, I'll do that and report back. I'm getting my machine rebuilt
next week with Windows 7 - so that should
be a good opportunity to get 8.0.1
Cheers
George.

David,
downloaded the latest - no improvement...

I'm running IDL8.0.0 on Windows XP - not sure if that's an issue ?
Cheers

David,
Thanks for your help.... Yeh, 'finding the right program' is
definitely an issue - and file_which is very useful.
...but no progress.
I have the same problem occurring with select_objects.pro... and
everything seems to be referenced ok.
Are there any other programs to consider than the below ?
Cheers
George.

I guess I need more information. I just ran the Coyote
Library routine Select_Objects, which uses a VColorbar
object, in IDL 8 on my Windows machine and it ran fine.
Are you sure you are finding the right program?
IDL> Print, File_Which('vcolorbar__define.pro')
Cheers,
David

David,
I now have 8.0.1 and can report there are no more problems with
vcolorbar.
Apologies for the false tech support request.
Cheers
George.
