Hi,

out of Foxpro Help to #IF...#ENDIF:
Note Do not specify system variables for nExpression1 or lExpression1. System variables are not evaluated until run time.

Is it boring, isn't it?

Update:
Just an untested idea. Use a project hook to put the information into a public variable.
Use this var instead of.

Possibly to put the complete reference into a var like

*inside the hook:
PUBLIC;
 poActiveObject

poActiveObject = _VFP.ActiveProject
*compile
RELEASE;
 poActiveObject
