Save Tag property on Close?

[bhammer]

Why can't I do this?

Private Sub Form_Close()
Me.txtSourceFolder.Tag = Me.txtSourceFolder
End Sub

....then...

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel as Integer)
Me.txtSourceFolder = Me.txtSourceFolder.Tag
End Sub

It doesn't seem to save the Tag when the form is closed.

How can I make the Opening form load the previous txtSourceFolder string?

Properties you set at runtime (not in design view) won't be saved.

An alternative is to save the properties you want into a table in
Form_Unload, and then assign them again in Form_Load.

Here's an example of that kind of approach:
Return to the same record next time form is opened

The purpose is different, but the technique is the same.
