Re-Architecting was not easy.

Since then I allow this way of handling references (if the customer is adamant on keeping it or working without excluded files in the pjx) ONLY with compile time constants, so that you can easily change these from strings to names and have the project managers checks enabled again. I definitely prefer excluded files.

Thomas, as I read your words, you don't use this method if the choice is yours, right?

Another problem is not nicely tackled by this workaround: We can't use quotes when using a function. Such a call only goes well if the function is in a library that has been declared with

set procedure to ("path\myproc")

I'm sure ( knowing him a little :) that Walter has succeeded tackling all consquences, but the method is not really appealing to me. Moreover, it is useless in the case of my legacy application.

No, the fundamental solution must be laying somewhere within the possibilities of the project manager.
