Melanie,

A search of the data base got me here. I read the thread started by Srigopal007 and get a different meaning from his request.

I am about to take on a fairly complex project (complex for me :-). And I was wondering how to accomplish it with PBP and still keep it manageable. It seems I start quite a few programs that work quite well but as they grow, I find it difficult to keep my thoughts straight. It gets overwhelming for me.

To help myself stay organized and keep the main program size smaller, I thought I would write a second .bas file that I could INCLUDE at the beginning of my main program file. I would work on two files at once, adding subroutines to the file to be INCLUDED and calling them from the main program file.

My understanding is that the two files (plus any other INCLUDE files) will be treated as one when they are compiled. Is this correct?

If so, is there any correct method of writing the file to be INCLUDED (such as header information)? Or can the file be just a "myfile.bas" that has list of subroutines and nothing more?

I think this was what Srigopal007 was trying to ask originally.
