Not a Bad Idea there Mike, but what if you have different settings for differenct users?
I know I have different users with different screen size settings and this would present some difficulties.. RBTI would have to set this up for single capability or multi-user capabilty.. Are you saying that this should be a copyable database that would be say named different for every user, or one that would hold a users settins in which their would have to be some kind of setup capabilty or ???
