Storing data methods?

Hello everyone, I am hoping someone can shed some light on this subject.

I am building a small VB application which requires that inputted data needs
to be stored for later retrieval. My question is, what is the best method to
use for this?

TIA,
BWT

We can't tell you that. Database/registry/file - depends on
your needs.

The application will be used for storing eating habbits over a period of
time. So each day the user inputs what they have eaten and at the end of the
week or month a chart is shown. Does this help?

Thanks,
BWT

I'd use a Database for that.
