problem:change databasename after exe

[odysseus]

is it possible if i can change databasename by using commondialog.showopen after i make my project exe. here is an example;

CommonDialog1.ShowOpen
data1.databasename=commondialog1.filename
data1.refresh

i tried this to change data1.databasename after i made project1.vbp, project1.exe

but it didn't work. i think that if i can save this changes in exe form then it works. but i don't know how i can do it? how i can change settings and save settings in exe form.

if you can help me i'll be happy

thanks...
