LOL Stuff done repeated needs to be done by code .... But then my apps running on variable datasets anyway, so restore last dataset / MRU is build in for decades. Infact I've set an app of mine as target for dbc extension. It opens the dbc, checks for some info that defines an dbc as belonging to my apps and calls appropriate app or plain VFP. Just move the dataset to an random directory doubleclick dbc, done.
