Tomasz,
Why couldn’t “Current Selected”
= “Last Selected”? I.e., the currently selected watchlist, group,
etc would be the last selected one. If none was selected, user would receive
an error.
Regards,
Dan.

Without workspace, how could then AB know which
list/category is "CURRENTLY SELECTED"?
(Hint: any symbol can belong to upto 69 categories
at once
(64 watch lists, + 1group, +1 market,
1+industry/sector, favourite and index) )
