That is correct Brett. The file1 is derived from a fe solution and contains new data. The file1 contains over a 500 statements that assign data to variables used by file2... Imagine having to write down all these fscanf() statements, its not practical... When I use #include "file1" within the file2 program (which actually works within the body of the program provided that file1 contains valid C-statetments and that all vars are declared), the changes in file1 are not taken, and it will only keep using the original info from the first execution, which makes sense now that I think about it. Anyway, I need to find a way to do this with a dynamically changing file1 like u said. I found an equivalent to what I want to in python script where u simply write execfile(file1). I thought C would have this feature too. Thanks for ur help. /Mongi M
