Is there a way to have a menu option for the above, even if there's only one?

The reason is as I'm developing I often want to open a table, generally only one or two at any given phase, related to what I'm doing and it would be brilliant if I didn't have to open a session, open a database, open a table but could just click on something that did the lot for me and the table magically opened.

Roy,

I've been thinking about a "save the state" option that will save the open
sessions, databases, tables, etc. and restore them upon re-entering the EDB
Manager.

I generally find the "save everything I was doing" type approach less useful. All too often I don't want to do what I was doing, or exited cos I cocked up or had too much open and closing and reopening is the fastest/easiest way of sorting it out.

But lets hear what others have to way as well.

I agree with you, Roy.

Often when writing SQL in DBISAM I just open one of the relevant tables to
check on fieldnames, indexes, etc.

Also, I hardly ever want to pick up exactly where I left off - if I stop
for lunch, I leave everything open, and if I stop for the night then I
wouldn't remember WHY I had all those things open anyway, next morning ;-/

Yeah, but I'm not talking about anything extensive, just re-opening the
tables, and possibly, views that were last open.  Remember, to open the
table, EDB has to open the session and the database anyways.  And, we're
talking milliseconds here. Smiley
