Look up SaveSetting and GetSetting to easily access the registry. There are good examples in VBHelp

I agree completely. Both SaveSetting and getSetting can be called at any time. Also there is a GetALLSettings if you are dealing with several saved items. The only thing to remember is that these deal with strings, so some data may have to be convereted to save, then converted back to use it properly
