You have to put it at the top of each PRG file. No way around this. In each class of a VCX ClassLib you have to define the include file as well. Same for each form. I created a macro for VCXs and a macro for SCXs that would do this for me. The macro for forms looks like:

{ALT+M}i{TAB}{TAB}d:\myapps\defaults.h{ENTER}
{CTRL+W}

For classes, change the ALT+M to ALT+C. If you define this in your base classes, then you will not have to define this when you create new forms or create subclasses of any of your base classes.

To further simplify this, I only put 1 #INCLUDE statement in my classes, forms and prgs. If I need others, I just add #INCLUDE statements at the top of my DEFAULTS.H file.
