It even errors if you exlplicitly add a line of code #include home() + "foxpro.h" at the beginning of the blocked set of code.

Mark,

When you run a block of code it essentially creates a temporary .prg from the blocked code, compiles it, then runs it. I haven't tried this, but I think you'll also find that any references like THISFORM won't work either.
