Hello everyone! It's been a long time since I've been here (a harddrive and a headache later - maybe more than one headache...but anyways...) - I don't know if you've thought of it... the idea is rather simple, but just in case you hadn't thought of it... if you need to save value then couldn't you store the value(s) in a file on the computer?? Whenever the value(s) change update the file. As for releasing them, well they're gone once you end the program. I don't know, like I said - maybe that's too simple, but if I'm understanding correctly - I think it would work without having to trap the End statement... Just a thought!
