I would like to store away hiden data values (such as application settings)
within a MS Access solution (a .mde file).
It seems a normal data table is not appropriate for such data. What do you
think?

I would use a table.

Why would a normal data table not be appropriate? Because you think it
won't ?

I store many application-specific settings in a table, easy because no
matter what user logs on, you can always retrieve the settings from
there (instead of, for example the registry). Since it's an MDE, users
don't even see it...
I also use an INI file for some other settings, the more 'general' ones
like where the backend-file (data) is stored. This makes it easier for
an administrator type of guy/girl to change to change, for example the
path when the backend-server is changed. Yes, you could also store that
one in the database, I just chose not to...
