 I want to thank everyone for contributing to 
this thread.  This explains so much of the "unexplained" that 
I  
experienced in the area of Layouts, and multiple instances. It make 
perfect sense now that the autosave 
feature was pointed out to me.  
  I also appreciate everyone laying out 
their best practices since it well save a great many steps on my part and 
 
others just starting out.  
 Best regards 
Joe

  I 
  run 2 or 3 instances everyday, all are real time and auto trading.
  1. 
  turn off auto save like TJ have suggested;  2. each start with a blank 
  startup database, then switch to its own  data base and stay there, never 
  open the same database in different  AB instances at same time; 3. I 
  don't save the real time feed data, but its safe to save I think; 4. the 
  last closed instance has the final saying, so never save  anything except 
  AFL code.
  That's how I do it, have been trouble free.

  Indeed! I strongly suggest that number 
  of bars should be cumstomized  to each chart.

  however I ran into problems  earlier doing that. That was some time ago 
  that I had to switch to  multiple databases... perhaps before certain 
  changes were made that  make the operation of a single installation using 
  multiple instances  practiclal. >  > I know that many changes

  problem earlier was that  parameters relating to databases were common and 
  part of preferences,  thus all databases had one set of parameters (such as 
  number of  bars)... which was a pain... >  > Also I beleive 
  that even with current version, a single  installation would have a single 
  set of symbols. Broker files  reflecting a unique set of setting for a 
  particular application (EOD,  Real Time etc). Is that nor correct? >
