Hi everybody,

I'm thinking about the best way of saving some specific user's adjustments and environment. For instance, a user opens an application with a grid. He (she) makes some changes in grid's appearance. The next time I want to restore these changes. The most important property, however, would be to save and restore the record, on which the user stopped the other day. In other words, user had done some work with the application, opened it on the following day and now he/she starts from the saved position.

I want to make some generic way of saving these kind of settings. My colleague has a quite complicated approach of Meta-Files, but I'm not 100% sure, we can port his idea with all its complicated implementation to our existing applications. So, I'm looking for something quite simple, but efficient. This is for multi-user environment. Another little problem: user may start an application with a different table, or he/she may finish with this table, so it might be deleted.

Hopefully, you got the idea. I have some own ideas in mind (for instance, Robert Peirce's article gave me some thoughts), but I'd like to hear your advices too.

Should it be form's method or our application object method? (We have only one main application object oJC).

Thanks a lot in advance for your ideas.
