Hi folks -- Many applications store settings that are specific to an opened document or file. For example, every file you open in MS Word has associated with it a user specified document template file. Applications often keep track of things like document-specific default settings and info about the user's display. Hopefully, you understand what I'm referring to but, for the sake of clarity, let me specify that I'm *not* talking about *application* specific information, like an MRU list that might appear on a File menu, or window size and position settings.
I'm curious what the general strategy is for storing this kind of information. I assume that it is somehow "hidden" within the saved document file. Are the first few lines of a file reserved for this kind of information? That's how I've been doing it, but I wondered whether better alternatives might exist. Thanks, as always -- Al p.s. As you predicted, with the combination of your help and a little time spent playing around on my own I have gotten the hand of DB aware controls and their use for record addition, editing, etc. My thanks again to those of you who reponded a couple weeks ago. :) _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
