>AFAIK, VFP #defines are like C/C++ #defines in that they can't really have a 'global scope', unless you put it in some 'include file' that gets included in each of your forms' code. This is basically what you're doing now, but it sounds more hip. =)

yep VFP #define and #include are just like C/C++ ones

and indeed u have to #include again for every form u want to use

when u design a form u can chose from the form menu "include file"
and specify the .h fiel u want, if you make this part of your base form class
it will be included automatically in all your forms
btw, even if u don't use forms as classes u can still make this the default
behaviour by making a subclass form and use it as a template form (settable under options)
