I looked at several threads relating to this problem, and the consensus seemed to be that the problem was because the #Include command was a compiler directive. Like the guy who had the original problem, I had compiled my form (using compile form), even though according to the help file, it appears to happen automatically when you save the form. Nonetheless, when I use Form->Include File, then run the form, everything works fine.

I was trying to use these constants (the ones defined in the include file) for messages on the form itself. That's why I thought adding the code to the #Include in the load event of that form would be kosher. Example: I wanted to include a message in the valid event of fields on this form that says (if empty) "Hey, you can't have a blank field."
