What version of VB are you using?

Generally speaking, if you set the contents of a textbox at design-time, it will be retained when the program is executed, because it is stored in the EXE file.

At runtime, any changes made the contents, by the user or the program code, are temporary, discarded when the form is unloaded. In this case, if you want the text to be available again next time you run the program, you will have to store it somewhere. There are a number of options, including (but probably not limited to)...

• An entry in the Windows registry
• Writing it to a text file
• In VB6 there is an object called a PropertyBag which I believe provides some sort of capabilities for saving and restoring control properties like this.
