I need to use conditional compilation in my latest project.  I want to
use a constant (defined by #Const) in the #If statement, but conditional
constants apparently aren't global in scope.  I have a VB book that says
there's a way around this by using the "Advanced" tab under the
"Options" menu entry.  However, I can't figure out exactly what to enter
into the "Conditional compilation arguments" field, and the book doesn't
say.  Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Craig C.

CondConst = -1 : Const2 = -1

It doesn't seem to like "True" or "False" though so you can use -1 and
0.

yes, under Tools|Options|Advanced enter something like the following for
Conditional Compilation Arguments...

PDP_CLIENT_APP = -1 : CONMERGE_APP = -1 : CUSTOM_STARTUP = -1

setting to -1 results in TRUE evaluation, setting to 0 or omitting results
in FALSE evaluation

constants must be seperated by ' : ', i.e. SPACE COLON SPACE

the use like this...

#If PDP_CLIENT_APP Then
.....
#End If
