Recently I've noticed in the last few weeks that "Offer to retain settings " is not actually working (running v7.8.6). Never had time to investigate in detail till now however.
I have input several Births today, and each time AS has closed after I complete the save after entering the data.
I have checked, and I do have "offer to retain settings" ticked on 5 of the six Sections in AS option (Death is the missing one)!
I cannot be certain, but I believe that it has worked with some census entries. Is there another setting I may have changed by mistake which would over-ride my choice?
Thanks
Colin

Re: Offer to retain settings
Do you open AS directly, or launch it using Mike’s plugin? I don’t use the plugin but I know it has a Close on 'Save Entry To File' ? option so if you untick that it won't close AS after each save.
Otherwise AS shouldn’t close after saving, regardless of whether you have selected “Offer to retain settings”.

Re: Offer to retain settings
Great, as you suspected, that was exactly the problem.
No idea how I managed to select that - I presume it must have been by accident/unwittingly. Anyway you've solved my problem.
Many thanks
