Bob,

>Is there some way to get the procedure names out of a procedure file ? or just check for existance of a procedure / function in a procedure file. ?

Just to whet your appetite ...

No one seems to have mentioned yet the new APROCINFO command in VFP7:

APROCINFO(aMyArray, "genmenu.prg") will create an array with 4 columns, two of which are Procedure Name and Line Number.
