>>>>I have a form class and wondered what might be the best approach to put a button on it that would restore values when clicked to whatever they were when the form was first initialized. I can put such a button on an instance of that form and then have a list of things to reset depending on the values, but I would like to make it more generic if possible. Any way that makes sense to use SAVE and RESTORE or something like that? That seems so old school though.

Good ideas. I think this is along the lines of what I was trying to come up with.

I've not worked with a collection - or if I have, I've not known it - is that just a group of objects under another object?

UPDATE: Can I store references to form objects in a collection? Like "THISFORM.MyContainer.MyComboBox.Value" then have it restore that value?
