Hi Thomas,

You may have this mixed up with how C/C++ uses #INCLUDEs. In C/C++, using quotes versus angle brackets controls the order in which the compiler looks for the file. For instance, if you use quotes, I think it looks for the INCLUDE file in the current folder first, then along any other paths that are defined. If you use angle brackets, then it looks along the defined path first, without giving preference to the current folder. (I might have this backwards, but you get the idea.)

I don't think VFP makes such distinctions.
