Nate,

Thank you for the reply. I will try what you suggested, but I thought there was something already build into MM .Net. The framework includes an application object with properties, but I can not figure out if I can add my own properties and then how they could be accessed from the rest of the application.

I have an accounting application that sets an accounting period (date range) that all forms will use to determine what data is displayed.

Kind Regards,

Mat
