> MichaelYou can put anything you want into preferences database (within reason). It works with Dabo apps. You turn it on or off (not sure you can turn if off -Ed ?) as you need. It my knowledge it works perfectly. At least all my settings are stored correctly and my forms restore correctly. Just running the PrefEditor doesn't do much without having a Dabo app. Remember, it's a tool to edit the user preferences and form stuff. -- John Fabiani _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/dabo-users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
