Basically, I'd like to record in one of the form's properties a value that is selected by the user and not having to record that in a table, but in the actual form's table (this is at runtime). I know the property must be initialized, so the idea is, in the next session the user will have as default value what was selected in a previous session.

James,

Thanks for the fast response, I guess you're right it could pose some serious trouble trying to do something like that, but the one thing I'm trying to stay away is to create a table just to hold one value. Doing it the way I'm thinking the EXE would have to be recompiled and who knows what else since a path to a file could be pretty lenghty and complicated in the case of network paths <g>. In any case what other alternatives could there be for instances such as this? I've thought about appending a line to the config.fpw? writing it to an .ini? Any other ideas?
