    Simple Database in VB.NET vs VB6 [Resolved]

    I'm not a big database guy, but I did use ms access databases in VB6 to store small amounts of data. Is it just me, or is it more complicated to work with simple databases in .NET? I have been going through the .NET books, and I can't find anything on *simple* databases. I seem to find all these powerful database tools, that I don't require in the apps that I do.

    A question for the .NET database familiar folks-

    What is the simplest way to have access to small amounts of stored data? Should I use a dataset that gets it data from an XML file?

    I write mostly GUI apps that use the com port for modem communciation, and I just need an easy way to store data that the user inputs, i.e., modem phone numbers, site location names, and modem initialization strings.

    Any help would be appreciated, or a link in the right direction. I have Googled and Googled, but still come up with database examples that are too rich for what I am doing.

    thx -Jared.
