Hmm, that's a good idea. That would certianly unclutter the top of some scripts! > And I use customprops with data that needs remembering or are multiple > line.

I'm new enough to Rev that I didn't realize fields on my Preferece Page (DB IP Address, DB Name, etc.) wouldn't be remembered between sessions when I make a Standalone! Can I take what the user enters in the fields for their Preferences (database's IP Address, DB Name, etc.) and then assign them to a Custom Property before they exit the standalone. Will that keep the data? OR, do I have to store that in a "prefs" text file and just parse it at runtime? What do others do?
