Hi Carole,

As craig said, an .h file is not a good idea because it implies recompiling.

The ini or the dbf are the simplest approaches imo. Ini is extremely easy to edit (all you need is notepad), but you have to create code to handle it (look in the downloads area).

dbf is the one that requires the least coding, but you'll need to have vfp or some other app that can read and write dbf's in order to change it on the fly.

Another option that you haven't mentioned is using the registry, which has the advantage of being hierarchical, but like the ini, requires some extra code in your app.

I personally prefer the ini approach because it's the simpler to edit.

Have fun!
