>We use a menu that calls VFP compiled EXE's and many of the EXE's have PUBLIC var declarations with RELEASE ALL at the end. We want to release variables when the exe is done but keep some menu-level vars in memory. The issue now is that one or two of our many, many EXE's seem to get an error 1960 "Illegal Redefinition of variable..." which I believe is related to this problem. Any suggestions?
You can declare the variables as PRIVATE in the main program, or not declare them at all, just assign them a value. In either case, the variables will be visible in lower-level programs (i.e., all of them, since I am assuming you do this on the top level), but not in higher-level programs (meaning, they will be erased automatically as soon as you get back to the Command Window.
