Write them to permanent storage location (e.g. your hard disk) as a file or
a database entry (MS Access is good for beginners like me!).

HTH,

Which would you like to know - how to store files, or how to store to a
database?

Here's a tutorial on file handling:
http://www.juicystudio.com/tutorial/vb/files.asp

Here's a primer on database access (I would recommend ADO (ActiveX Data
Objects) for database connectivity):
http://www.officecomputertraining.co...ges/page37.asp

Personally I would go for the file approach initially as it is simpler
(databases add a layer of complexity). However, if you were going to use
this solution for anything other than personal use, databases are probably
the way to go, and eventually you will prob. want to use a database anyway.

If you come across a specific problem, rather than a general "How to do it?"
I'll be happy to help more ;-)

I'm creating HTML emails from a PHP site and sending them out to an email list (just about 40 people so far are on this list). I've tested and confirmed that these emails work in yahoo.com's webmail. And I know they work on *my* Outlook Express. But I have one person (I know of) who gets the emails as plain text, so she sees the HTML code for the email instead of its proper representation. She has, like myself, OE6, and other html emails...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
