#include and Source Aliases

I have assed source aliases in my project code to eliminate path names and make
the project more portable but i also need to the same source aliases in some
#include statement so that everything stays consistent.

I tried 

#include :ProjectConstants:\Constants.h
#include ":ProjectConstants:\Constants.h"
#include :ProjectConstants:"\Constants.h"

but they do not work. Any suggestions

I assume you have a standard place where you do your work, a standard 
working directory.

I suggest you create a subdirectory of your working directory, for each 
of your source aliases and named after that source alias.    Then your 
include statement would be a relative path and not dependent on any dBL 
code:

#include ProjectConstants\Constants.h

Tom,

You can use Bruce's suggestion. Or, since constants change rarely, you 
can put the in the dBASE include folder:

C:\Program Files\dBASE\Plus\Include
