While building a form or a report, you should be able to add them into
the .ini file. However, I am not sure why you would want to do that.
Most of the time it's more trouble than it is worth (the code is always
loaded everytime you start dBASE). As I have a variety of different
projects, I don't always want CCs loaded. Instead, I just create a
"setup" program for an application, if I need things loaded while
coding, I can just run that, and it will do the necessary "set
procedure" statements ...

However, if you really must:

In the form designer (or report ...), "File" and notice in the list "Set
Up Custom Components". The dialog lets you add .cc files that you want
to load when dBASE starts.
