    Question

    Does anyone know how to store and retrieve the data stored in the VB executable file(*.exe) itself. I know how to do this in Quick Basic, but how do you do this in VB? Thanks!!

    Are you using resources, or just appending it to the EXE? If the latter, have a variable in your program, and set its value to the offset of the data in the file. I'm sure there's a better way, but couldn't find it (I needed this a while back).
    I refuse to tie my hands behind my back and hear somebody say "Bend Over, Boy, Because You Have It Coming To You".

    You can also use the "savestring" "getstring" to store stuff in the registry.
    Code:
    SaveSetting "MyProgram", "save", "x", x
x = GetSetting("MyProgram", "save", "x", 1)
    Just type in "SaveSettings" and you'll undersand the rest of the syntax.

    How about using your resource file? For static data, it is great.
