EASY - VB 6 Forms save

Hello,

I have a problem with my VB 6 Project.

If i have a label on a form called 'theform' on a label called 'thelabel' that says "Hello" i can edit this by using code like ...

theform.thelabel = "Goodbye"

this works fine.  However, if i close my running project, and then start it back up again the labe has changed back to "Hello" and has not saved my changes.

I know in Access you have to edit a form in design mode for the changes to save, i dont think there is any kind of design mode in VB is there?

Does anyone know how i can save my changes to my vb form?

Thanks,

Daz

You can store the value in a file (xml, ini, ...).
When you start the program, you can load the value from that file and if you close your form, save the values back into the file.

I thought about just getting it from a text file or even setting up a mini database for all my forms so they would be easy to change, however this seemed a bit excessive, for what i would think is a minor change.

I have only got 4 forms in the project!!!

Is there no simple save method or anything like that?  That would save it to the form some how?
