>>Yes, it offers the same design. But I was unable to make it work. I actually tried to use a constant from foxpro.h (AFIELDS_WIDTH) and the program complained, that there is no such variable. I had to put #include foxpro.h in the beginning of the program in order to make it work. I forgot, how can we have "GLOBAL" constants?

It thus becomes very easy to have a #DEFINE wreak havoc with programs where you might have variables or fields with the same name. Rather, when you find specific constants that you need, migrate these to your own (short, carefully-constructed) include file.

Hi Randy,

I found it today by experimenting. After I included foxpro.h the search was very slow. I figured, that was the slowing factor, so I just defined two constants I needed in function's code.

Thanks.
