I don't know how you guys do this, but I have project menus with all the application and document shortcuts I need frequently for a project. The MPLAB shortcut in such a project menu contains the workspace file as argument, so that it always gets loaded (when opened through this project menu shortcut, of course). FWIW, I use PowerPro to run the menus, but there are many other possibilities (including normal Windows Start|Programs menus, or simple folders filled with shortcuts). The very nice thing about this is that when you get back to a project after one year away, you have the full set of project shortcuts still there, and it's all working -- almost, of course, because the MPLAB application settings are not stored in the workspace file :) Gerhard -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
