This method actually does some minor stuff then calls another method in a PRG based class that does all the saving of the form environment. Since I pass an object reference to the form, I can get to any object and property on the form.

>Thanks, Mark. Seems like a way to go. Do you also have a RestoreSettings methods of your global object? How do you handle multi-user problem? Do you store info in a table (memo fields, similar to ideas showed by Robert) or you use some system files? Where do you usually store them?

Oops. Yes, I also have a Restore method in that same PRG based class. I have the following in the form INIT:

if vartype(oApp) = "O" and !isnull(oApp) and (This.lSetFormSettings or oApp.Language <> ENGLISH_VERSION)
   oApp.SetFormSettings(This)
endif

I save all the settings in a table. I have a field for UserID [integer], FormName [M], and a memo field for general form properties like Top, Left, Height, Width. So multi-user is not a problem.

For your situation, you would need more fields to save settings of objects on the form.
