How do I make curent values default durring run time?

[trosier]

In my application I am writing to a value to a global after a certain test. For subsequent tests I may not have to update that value but would like to use the last value as default. What is the best way to "make current values default" during runtime. The biggest reason I need this is for my executable being that I cannot open the global file in that mode and make current values default. Thanks in advance for any help.

Altenbach-Thanks for the reply. After peddling through all of the info on this topic I found a solution that works great. Somewhere along the line someone suggested using configuration files to write and read values, basically setting current values as default. This worked great. This is the first time I had to do something like this so I appreciate the response.
