>>>Usually it is done by including some file like APP.H which #INCLUDE all other possible .H files. It is easier to maintain it this way, so when you add new .H file to your app, you need just add a line
>>>*** APP.H
>>>#INCLUDE "FOXPRO.H"
>>>#INCLUDE "myNewHeaderFile.H"
>>>in your APP.H
>>>But for those variables (or constants) to be visible through all your application you have to include it in all your classes and subclasses and .SCX files (and your start.prg and other PRGs too)
>>>You may look at FOXPRO.H file as a sample. It is supplied with VFP.
>>>"Include File" option is under VFP menu /Class (or /Form)

>>OK - what are the steps.
>>1. add title.h to the programs project and compile

are you saying, I need to have the TITLE.H in the project, but mark it as
EXCLUDED? I did not have the TITLE.H in the project at all. :)
