Carlos,

I know the OOP police are going to string me up for saying this but here goes:

We have a MAIN.PRG that we always start everything from. At the top of that program it opens a table of setup values and reads each one into a memvar.

use setup
scan
memvar = alltrim(setup.varname)
&memver = setup.value
endscan

Becuase the memvars are created at the top of the 1st program they are basicly global.

In the setup program there is a procedure for each of the records in the setup table. The user goes into the setup program, selects the record in a grid, the procedure is run, user changes value (proc validates), user saves. A bit of work to create the 1st time but once created it is just a matter of adding records and procedures as time goes on. We now have about 100 memvars we create this way in our largest system.

John.
