I thought about doing it using seperate text file(s), but  I have an 
awful lot of Stacks/Cards/Controls to save. Would they all go into 
separate files or could I use one big file?

Your point about issuing updates is well taken, under these 
conditions though, I'd either delete the old Stack Files during the 
installation process, or detect that they are out of date in the new 
Vvrsion of the Standalone and delete them there (after issuing a 
dialog telling the user what is happening).

Saving a standard stack file seems so much easier since you don't 
have to add much code!!!

Thanks a lot for your help
