Hi I had forgotten about revert - I just thought it was an entry on the File menu! As my program/app loads a separate data stack which is the one I want to revert then would need to do this?
put the defaultstack into myOldStack set the defaultstack to myDataStack revert set the defaultstack to myOldStack Thanks On 2 January 2011 19:02, J.
