It might be more trouble to change than speed increase would be worth, I can see.

>I'm thinking about it too, but I'm not sure. Currently it's done in one time - in the Form's Init. E.g. each saved configuration is run from first seq to the last seq number. If I'd like to separate these processes, I have to pass seq numbers (start and first) to the restoration method and invoke it for each container Init method. Also these cmdlines now should use relative notation instead of full notation. It's a complicated problem, but at some point with the help of my colleague I'm going to implement this idea.

m.cmdr_arg1.parent.pageframe1.pageLoc.Container1.conZip.btcc_zipcode.Container1.setall('enabled',.t.)
