It might be something to do with the compiler options that you are using.

Try a simple program (prog.f90)....

INCLUDE <win32api.ins>
PRINT*, "Hello"
END

and run the following from a DOS box....

FTN95 prog

[Note that the include file is designed to work for both fixed and free format Fortran.]

[clint]

This program works.

Project: FTN95Application (not the extension or clearwin)

However I cannot call any win32api functions. (e.g. MESSAGEBOX)

You can only use Win32Api.ins with a Win32 application or extension.
It will not work with .NET.
