I want to define a constant that is usable anywhere in any program in the project.

Something like My_company_Name = “ABC Inc.” It is like a public variable but comes from the dot H file which can be different for different locations of the program.

I thought a #INCLUDE my_vals..H in the first program of the project with values in the dot H like #Define My_company_name “ABC Inc.” would do that, but it does not seem to.

I guess the best way would be to have a public variable and then read the value from a small single record dbf or even a MEM file.

Obviously I am just trying to set the basic default parameters of the application depending on where it is running.

My DEV version will always use Dev data and dev Names and when it Quits, it actually returns to the command screen (not quit).

My production version will go to different data files and screen colors and the Quit program will function differently.

Any suggestions?
