Saving data question

[daybreak]

I want to save the user entered data so that when I create a new version/upgrade of the program, the user doesn't have to enter it all over again. For example I want to save data entered in datagrid to a file that can be read by the new version software. How do I go about doing that?

Hi.

Standalones cannot save themselves. They are locked by all OS's, Windows included. The way I do it is to create a "splash" stack, that is the actual executable, and may have no functionality at all, except to open another stack or external file.

That other stack(s)or external file(s), are attached to the executable in the "Standalone Application Settings" stack found in the "File" menu. You then make a standalone, which carries the other gadgets along in a single "package". This takes just a little practice, but you will get the hang of it quickly. All the attached stacks and files can be saved in the normal way. You should read the appropriate tutorials, and check out the resources at Hyperactive Software:
