Strange Error, Cant find the LUA

Hi, im making a simple mod, (not my first) however for some strange reason when i load it in WOW i get an error saying im calling an undefined global, (the OnLoad() i double check my spelling everything is fine, i try to debug it by making another function, same thing. i then turn to the <Script file="mymod.lua"/>, double check it, its fine. however im almost sure this is the problem, as it seems the XML file cannot run my LUA script even if my LUA script only has one small function for OnLoad. im at my whits end, anyone have an idea what could be causing this?

Post your code (.toc, .xml and .lua) here and we'll take a look at it-- your description isn't much to go off of unfortunately.

You probably didn't have the lua file referenced in the xml when the game started up before.

Since the recent patches we can't add new files to a mod without completely exiting the game and going back in. This includes textures and changes to the .toc.
