I discovered unexpected behavior in the source code provided. I save the contents of the fields with information about the size of the fields to a file and then read that information. Focus on the Room1 array size read (the last two entries). Then try changing above in the declaration DIM SHARED ProjectName AS STRING *12 to a different size *. When I entered *5, an error occurred - out of memory. When I changed it differently, the output of the read values LBOUND and UBOUND, which are written after this string in the test file, also changed.

If I disable writing and then reading ProjectName$ variable in LoadRoom and SaveRoom and then load,  everything works fine. 

Tested in QB64Pe x32 v3.12
