Hello, all;

I want to build a software solution that holds data, but I don't want
it to be connected to a database such as Access or Oracle. I want the
data to reside in local files that aren't "readable" to anything but
my program. I know this is possible, but I have no idea how to start.
I've been looking at the "dataware" sample program and trying to get
my brain around it (I guess I'm more of a procedural programmer, this
sample is not "intuitive" for me), thinking it may help me, but I'm
not sure.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

(and Mr. Halter, I want to thank you very much for the CodeSMART
recommendation you made elsewhere, I like it a LOT!)
