Paul,

#INCLUDE files hold compiler directives. They must be Included in every form, report, program, and class as each of these is compiled spearately. Your example is flawed in logic, here'e an example that accomplishes the same goal;

* Test.H
#DEFINE kUser 5
*End

* Program
#INCLUDE test.h
#IFDEF kUser
MessageBox(User)
#ENDIF
