COMPILE settings should be the same in all your files (INCLudes, MAIN, FLTR, TEST, HEADer...) try verifying and using _noRedimVars in all. Of course, if you use the same name as a global but inside a CLEAR LOCAL MODE FN there is no danger as the use of MODE prevents it using globals. However if it is defined as MODE and you _intended_ to use a global, you've got problems. It would be a good think to do a compile all when checking this, to prevent FB from Not compiling files where there has been no change.
