Hi,
I'm a beginning VB programmer. I'd like to add a way for my users to register my program and show the info in the About box.

How can I keep user's 'Name' na 'Registration ID' global to the program once I read them from the registry?
Right now I read the values from the registry EACH TIME user opens the About box. This isn't very efficient. I want to read them ONLY ONCE - when the program starts, and STORE them in some kind of global place, so when I unload a form the information doesn't get lost.

Also what's the prefered way to close the About box: Load/Unload or Show/Hide.

Thanx for your help.
