Hi Naomi,

finished 3 weeks of paddling. See N 53°9''52.0" E 12°52'26.6" around and north

I like my solution because I only need the code to create the programm (e.g. to store the data). The restore needs minimal code to locate the right record and run the program via Execscript. There is also no data structure in it so it works for almost every form. I use it for dimensions of the form, splitter locations restore filter settings and so on.

>>>What do you do with this oStore object? In other words, how do you save it to be available in the next invocation of the form?
