ok first off i have a form with 3 textbox input areas. the user puts in the name of the script, the information to search for, and the response. they then hit the "add script" command button and it displays the name of the script (which they just specified) in a listbox. This also saves the information and response with it. the problem i have is that if the user closes that form then all the data is lost from it. i need some way to save the data they have entered to make it available for them later so they do not have to keep re-entering all the data fields. I am guessing that i need to keep a database file or a .ini of some sort, im not exactly sure. another thing which would be nice is when the user clicks on the script name in the listbox it displays the information in the 3 textbox fields that the user entered to make that script. im also not sure where to begin with that, i assume it also needs some sort of database. i think this just entails figuring out how to save input from a user after a form is closed, so it reappears when they open it again. if anyone can help on those 2 problems, that would be wonderful. i have been asking a few people on some programming channels (irc) and none of them have been able to help so far. thanks for taking the time to read this and possibly offer a solution or suggestion.
