Sammy:

Here are some specifics:

1) create a Custom class in the Designer. In the INIT event of this class, do the standard things you often do at startup like:

SET ESCAPE OFF
SET CENTURY ON
SET CENTURY TO 19 ROLLOVER 80
SET CONSOLE ON
SET DELETED ON
SET EXACT OFF
SET EXCLUSIVE OFF
SET MULTILOCKS ON

etc...

2) Create other methods desired, like oGlobal.MyError(), for instance, where you store code to execute ON ERROR...I have several Methods, like one to detect if the EXE is already running and not allow another ( oGlobal.RunOnlyOne() )...

3) In your Main.prg, point to the Class where the Custom oGlobal object lives and then Instantiate:

Set Classlib to <FullPathName> Additive
oGlobal = CreateObject("GlobalApp")
If oGlobal.RunOnlyOne("MultiUsertest.EXE")
	DO FORM MultiUsertest
	READ EVENTS
Endif
Release oGloBal

Now oGlobal completely 'Wraps' the application and is universal to all your Forms, etc. and can be used to store Global Properties throughout, like variables and LINKED Form references, etc...and best of all it can be used for any app you create from now on...

HTH,

>Thanks Irv for the code but i may need some clarification (steps) on the custom global variable creation. I get the error message 'class definition not found.'
