Mat,

>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.

Nate is saying that if you want to add properties to the main form (or as you suggested here, the application object), you can simply make it a static field like this (or a property):

class AppDesktop : mmAppDesktop
{
	public static DateTime StartDate;
	public static DateTime EndDate;
}

Then you can access these fields from anywhere within your application like this:

StartDate Begin = AppDesktop.StartDate;

However, if you want to add "instance" members rather than static members, you can specify these as follows:

class AppDesktop : mmAppDesktop
{
	public DateTime StartDate;
	public DateTime EndDate;
}

Then you can access these fields from anywhere within your application like this:

StartDate Begin = AppMainEntry.App.StartDate;

This is possible because the AppMainEntry class (located in Main.cs) already contains a static field called "App" that contains a reference to your application object.
