Klaus,

This issue has caused me considerable pain in the past, but I have sorted most of it out since Vista flounced onto the OS stage with such ill placed confidence. I have just had a results stack in the installation folder, and copied it to the users documents folder if it isn't already there. (This is a little unsatisfactory in that the results file isn't exactly a user's document in the simplest sense, but it does work.) However, I have never come across the stack as a custom property in this context. What is the advantage of doing it that way?

The advantage is that you do not have "files" anymore that you need to manage somehow.

Is it that you set the property in the IDE, and so don't actually need the stack to be anywhere else in the installation once you build?

Yes, since you store the "binary" (tha actual "your_stack.rev" file) in a custom property! I also do this insted of cloning a stack if necessary, since you can also do:
...
put the cStack01 of this stack into tStack
go stack tStack
...

Kinda "virtual stack" :-)

Intrigued..
