Have you checked out the Dev Guid topic on Overview of MM.Net / Application Settings Classes ? I typically create a subclass of mmAppConfiguration for application level settings. With Web stuff however, I don't like to put stuff in the Web.Config and writing to files can be a question so using the database approach if a very good one.

>what I meant by "What do I do for the BO?" is that so far I've been using the settings class that you gave me that is part of the web project and writes to my settings file, but now I need to access various settings that are only applicable in the BO project.

Ah, got it. Are these such that you can pass the values in from the application when you call those methods on the business object? Are we talking lots of settings or are they used in most business objects? There are other more complex options if that is the case. We can explore that based on your answer.
