Hi Alvin,

No really resolved it.

 can uses an xml file to hold all of my strings for error messages

eg
<Errors>
        <Key ErrNum="1" value="Must enter a date"/>
        <Key ErrNum="2" value="A fatal error occured -- closing program"/>
        <Key ErrNum="3" value="An non fatal error ccured"/>
</Errors>

however, I am unsure about concurency issues such as a number of users
accessing the strings at the same time.
No one will ever write to this xml resources file except me.
I don't want me writing to it to ever cause an error, and I don't want
errors to happen when a certain number of users try to read the file.
I especially don't want to hold these values in a database as I will retrive
them often.

I did think about caching the error XML file in memory but it will be quite
large.

any ideas would be appreciated.

cheers

martin.
