Hi Don,

your understanding is incorrect :)

the #INCLUDE only works for the program/form/class that explicitly has it.

You will need to include the file in all your classes, programs etc. that you use the constants in.

References to CRLF within the program file result in an error that says the constant CRLF is undefined. Apparently the visibility chain is broken when control passes through a menu. Why would this be so? Is there a generally accepted way to overcome this limitation?
