    say if there was a text box on an app and the user made a change to that field how could you store the data inside the app so that it now used that text instead of having to have your app use text files?

    I might work if you use the clipboard:

    clipboard.clear
    clipboard.SetText txtOne.text
    txtTwo.text = clipboard.GetText()

    yes but thats no use cos what if the clipboard is cleared by another app??
    say u copy paste a file?
    and the clipboard data isnt permanent, so it dies when u shutdown.
    use the registry: GetSetting and SaveSetting make it pi$$ easy

    The registry is a good place to store small amounts of data, but for anything else, use a database.
