Using the Get/Put commands, you can store User Defined Types and get them back again. For example:

VB Code:

Private Type UDT
   ImageFileName As String
End Type
Function Save()
Dim A As UDT
   R = InputBox("What is the file's name that you want to load?")
   If R = "" Then Exit Function
   A.ImageFileName = R
   Open App.Path & "\data" For Random As #1
      Put #1, , A
   Close #1
End Function
Function Load() As Picture
Dim A As UDT
   Open App.Path & "\data" For Random As #1
      Get #1, , A
   Close #1
   Set Load = LoadPicture(A.ImageFileName)
End Function
Private Sub Command1_Click()
   Save
   Set Me.Picture = Load
End Sub

I made the code work ;)
