Andrews,

#include happens at compile-time. Think of it this way, when VFP compiles the source code it does a search and replace in the source for any constants and replaces them with the values you have in #define. This also happens on a per file basis, so if you want mensajes.h to be #include in your entire app, you have to include it in every form / class / code module.

You can set a default .h file in VFP setup, and you can also add it to forms / classes using the menu.

See the following thread for a very complete discussion for how it works.

The #include is not an executable line. It only applies when the source is compiled.
