I mean in the prgram i am writing.

There is alot of customer information.. project specifications.
I dont want the user to have to enter that kinda stuff evertime they need to revise it.

I invision some sort of method to save all this somewhere..
but How?

The way I work in such a case is I create a textfile to hold that information, and store it in the application directory.

When I start the program I check for the existance of that file, otherwise I will create a new one.

I think a textfile is the way to go., because your independant of future developments. If you would use a DB it might be nedding an update along with a new version of your program.

I was just thingking about making datatypes..
is there a way of storing array data.. or will I have to ~`spell everything out.

If you want to store an array you can use the following:

YourKey=value1;value2;value3 etc.

Then you write a routine to extract the information and store it in an array.
