Not disagreeing with what others have said, but here's another perspective: I have a case where I need to "remember" the exact cell between sessions as well as within a session. The tables and views are small in this case, so I simply write the current row/col to a table in afterrowcolchange when in grid, and restore cell with activatecell() using table values on page/form entry.

You can do similar with custom properties, if tables are small...
