Hi Ed,

XML, Database and Registry are all possible choices. Which one is the best
choice depends on the situation.

Check out the Configuration Management Application Block, it may be just
what you're looking for.

been successful in this, but is there another way I can save this. I have
searched on the net and have found that saving the info to an xml file is a
good idea.  My question is whether or not I can save this in a config file
in C# (if so does anyone know how to create and use a file like this).  Or
can the information be saved somewhere else in the application!  Thanks in
advance for any feedback on this!
