Hi Rob - Years ago I had an issue with params, I would open AB and find many of the params kept reverting back to the defaults. That can happen if AB doesn't save them properly - if it can't find them on startup then it will use the defaults. I started tracking the size and contents of broker.params whenever I would close AB and found the size would change drastically and half the params weren't being saved to the file. Turns out that I was using different keyboard characters in my param names, and somehow these characters were causing AB to abort the save process when it would come across them. I renamed all my params using only letters and numbers and never had any more problems after that.
