Abstract
A method and software code are provided for the storage of display values from one or more fields of a form of a graphical user interface (GUI) application running on a computing device. In response to a save command by a user of the computing device in relation to an open form, for each field of the form containing display values, the display values are saved in a data storage file. Then in response to a load command by a user in relation to an open form and a designated or default data storage file, the fields of the form are populated with the display values stored in the file. This enables a user of a GUI application to customize the application with no programming knowledge.
