Location: Saratoga Springs, NY area                Hi,

I'm working on a SMTP/PoP3 mailer project for Windows helped by the example 
that ships with RB.

Instead of a user entering settings for their server address, user name, 
password, etc. each time they open the program, I would like to use a 
"Settings" window. Once entered, these few data values as strings would need to 
be saved, so the user would not need to enter them each time they use the 
mailer. 

With beginner skills, I am wondering what the best way to save these 3-6 data 
values is? I haven't used a DB in RB, so I am not familiar with this yet. Is it 
possible to encrypt and save these few strings to a text file, for example, in 
the My Documents or other standard system directory? Or, another simple method, 
as long as it can be encrypted (the project makes use of an encryption DLL, so 
the encryption part can be accomplished before saving/after retrieving).

Any leads, suggestions appreciated.

Kind Regards,
