I have two or three programs that require me to #INCLUDE a set of constants (ADO in this case). The application I am writing will be a .EXE app, but I am trying to test it from the VFP environment. To help this along I have inherited from one of my colleagues the following program that launches my app (mainMCC.prg) from within VFP :

cd c:\ClinicClient\progs
compile *.prg
CD ..
set default to c:\ClinicClient
do c:\ClinicClient\progs\mainMCC.prg

When mainMCC.prg runs it opens two programs for access i.e. Set procedure to xyz additive, but when I try to use one of the functions that uses any of the constants defined in the header file the program errors stating that it cannot find the constant value.

I know that programs have to be compiled for the header files to be included, but I assumed thats what 'compile *.prg' would do.

Is there any way I can get these programs working with these header files from the development environment?

Thanks in advance
