Erik,

I use one .h file for each .vcx. Every class in the classlib that needs any #defines puts them in that .h. If the class is a subclass of another classlib then the other .h is #included too. I also have one .h for a project, any forms or .prgs that need the #defines put them there. The project.h typically does a #include for all of the classlib.h files. This scheme works well for me and I don't have to spend time looking for the files.

>To use the same message in prgs, vcxs, scxs, introduces a lot of places to lose the link to the constant, and in my erxperience, this happens all the time. I have spent hours trying to figure out why the hell VFP can't find the stupid include file.
