If loading/saving should work automatically select the tstatfile into the statfile property of the form. What also often is used are sub-statfiles for individual forms which load/store from memory files by activating sfo_memory and a main statfile which writes the memory files to disk by entering a filenamemask for the memory files in the main tstatfile.savedmemoryfiles, for example *.sta if all memory statfiles have the ".sta" extension.
