What are the opinions regarding how to store and then use a record pointer for numerous views in an app? I was starting to create properties for the form based on what the current view's recno() was, but then thought there was probably a better, scalable solution.

Let's say for example that I currently have only two views, View1 and View2. I would create form properties called CurRecView1 and CurRecView2 and then store/reference as needed. If I add more views later I will need to add additional like properties. I also use a form property called CurView that holds the alias name of the current view (or the view current when the property is assigned anyway). The problem comes up sometimes when I run save routines and such that I endup having to reference the CurRecView1 and CurRecView2 properties. Things start becoming tangled if I have more views and trying to keep track of all the pointer so that I return to where I was when I left to do something else (with other views).

If my post isn't very clear then you see this the way I do. :) Thanks!
