> Is it still better to switch to an Access DB than the registry? I really don't know which is better; I do know that neither is especially good. (The word "sucks" comes to mind for either one.) The problem with using Access for client variables is that your database will grow, and grow, and grow without end. I've seen a case where a 2Gb Access database contained a couple of hundred rows of client data, and nearly paralyzed the server. So, I'd say that Access is spectacularly unsuited to this. On the other hand, the registry isn't where you want to store volatile data, either.
If you do choose to use Access to store Client variables, you may want to routinely stop CF, compact your Access db, and restart CF. That's probably the recommendation I'd make, rather than storing them in the registry. At least, you don't have to worry about your OS being unusable that way.
