Hi Andrew,

With your form (or class) open:

1) Click on the Form (or Class) menu option in the main VFP menu.
2) Click on "Include File"

You can view the path to the current include file there.

So
> 1 How can I find where form is finding the #define values from?

Menu: Form -> Include Files

Should display the current .h file being used for that form.

> 2 Why can't I use these #define values in my new class?

You can if you add them to a .h file and set that for each class by:

1) Opening the class
2) Menu: Class -> Include Files; browse to select your .h file.
3) Click OK and save your class

> 3 Why do I have to use the #include command in each method of my new class and not just the Init method?

That's just how classes/forms work I think. I think each method is treated as a stand alone procedure/function. The scope of each method ends once it has been run. So the #Includes you specify in the Init() end once the Init() ends.

If you have several includes to make I recommend creating a standalone .h file; make your #include declarations in there and add it to each class via the Class -> Include Files option.

Hope this helps.
