I always have a Private sub Settings_Load() in each form and a Public Sub Settings_Save()
e.g Private sub Settings_Load() Try cvwItemsBilled.Font = Font[Settings["Billing_RecordVisit/cvwItemsBilled.font"]] end sub Note the Settings_Save is Public, as then, if I have multiple sub-forms on another form which is closed, the the 'Parent' form can call all the Settings_Save subroutines in all its embedded forms when it closes.
