it usually takes me quite a while to prepare my Gridviews. I have discovered a neat trick for backing up my Gridviews when I do my daily accounting data backup.
I save the Gridview file as FileName.gv.bio to the accounting data folder.
Then when I "Backup-Complete Dataset" in my GL the gridviews are included in the backups.
If you want to open the files from the File-Open, you must remember to look at "all files". (The default is .gv)
