LOL!

So you want MAGIC? :-)

There's no way to have 'dynamic' conditional code inside of VFP (or any other language I know of) since the code is

I don't understand why you wouldn't want the plain IF logic since that clearly works. The code in question would never be executed - why would you care if it's there.

The alternative is to store the code you're trying to execute externally and run it only when your < debugCondition > is valid. But you still end up with a small block of code that is conditional.

Or simply:

TRY 
   DO DebugOnlyFile.fxp
CATCH
ENDTRY

If the file is there it works, otherwise it doesn't.
