David,
>FWIW the #include needs to happen in every source code file that references any of the items #defined in the file. Since it's a compile time feature you can't put it in the main and expect that all of the other PRGs and VCX/SCXes have access to the items in the .h file.

You are of course right. And I knew it but somehow when I put my include in the main application program forgot that the .h file has to be in the IDE path.
Thank you.
