Maybe "Use Saved"? Your table helps, but I think it's important to use the proposed operations, not what the current code does. Here's my version: Set: Field => Current Save: Field => Current, Saved Get Current: Current => Field Get Saved: Saved => Field Get Default: Standard => Field I think these names (and behaviors) make a _lot_ of sense; the consistency is very appealing, and should help people learn the meanings easily. -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
