where to store my information when creating a standalone app?

Hi all

Okay, this should be a simple question (I hope!).

If I'm creating an application with shed loads of information (mostly text) where do I store the info?

For arguments sake, lets say I wanted to hold 3 paragraphs of text for each day in the year...now that's alot of text right!

I'm thinking a DB would be best but how does this get distributed with the app...is it compiled in some way?

I don't want the DB to be accessable by an end user.

Does all this make sense?

Cheers

Yes, a db would be the best way to go about it. If you use access, I guess you can include it with ur app, password protected. Actually, that's applicable to any db... so only YOU can access it.

Another option would be to have about 365 separate files and for each day of the year, one file is accessed. I know, I know... stupid. Just an idea. Jeez.
