I am getting a link error for undefined symbol MSGBOX when I try to use the message box function (MsgBox.ch supplied with clipper). I am inexperienced with linking programs because most of my experience is with compilers that do it for me. Are there any good references where I can learn more about linking objects. Is clipper 5.2 a fully OOP language?
 
check for the following

the defined constants are case sensitive. make sure it is so.

have you included msgbox.ch in your program. i think this is necessary in all prg files where you have used a defined constant from msgbox.ch.

you will find all necessary help for linking in the utility reference manual. the syntax for linking is

rtlink file <filename> <libfiles>

i don't think clipper 5.2 is fully oop language.
