Dan,

I remember trying this in the past. I had no luck either.

According to the help, this is normal behaviour

Only the #DEFINE ... #UNDEF and #IF ... #ENDIF preprocessor directives are recognized in a header file. Comments and Visual FoxPro commands included in a header file are ignored.


You'll have to change

#INCLUDE includefile.prg

into

=includefile()
or
=FunctionNameInIncludefile()

so that the code will execute
