    Easily will be a .txt if you have a lots of information but you can use .ini and registery for only variable number.

    Databaseis not quick and easy to program.

    Databases are quick and easy, depend on what you're doing. For example, if you want to store purchase records for a company, you'll definetly need to use a database. Otherwise, if it's something as simple as keeping profiles for users on a machine, you could use the registry.

    What I mean is which databases do you have access to SQL2000, ACCESS, etc.

    any that will strore my data and let me get it back in a nice easy-to-get-at style

    I'm reading this atm: http://www.vbworld.com/databases/dbtutorial/

    I'm after speed above anything really, and it has to be a local db, not remote (obvisouly!)


    I have Access2000

    Databases are a whole field of their own. There are many books out there on this topic. I recommend Access 2000 Developer's HandBook. It's about 3 inches think, and written by the lead developer of Access.

    Best thing

    Download examples and research on this forum

    This forum teaches most everything dealing with Access database from counting records, to adding, edit (updating), deleting, adding to a msflexgrid, compacting, exporting data from, the list goes on and on...

    No time?

    No time, no money, unless a gamer. You should really spend a little energy on database use...

    Most of the apps that have been requested by me have been data storage related...

    Same, here. Almost every project I worked on required me to interact with a database.

    DaoK: I strongly recommend that you learn databases. If not now, put it on your New Year's resolution for 2002.

    I am 30 and only became the "Nerd" as you described when I went to work. You see, I am just trying to give you a heads up about the REAL world, but you don't wanna be a nerd learnin databases... You'd rather spend your Sunday, typing on this forum...
