Sammy,
we use a number of memvars that are created in our main program. They are read in from a dbf using:

USE VARTABLE.DBF
SCAN
MVAR = VARTABLE.MEMVARNAME
&MVAR = VARTABLE.VALUE
ENDSCAN

All vars created this way start with xx such as xxCompanyName. That makes it easy to know which ones to not change.

We also have a user setup program that allows the user to change some of the values.

John.
