updating form's text contents periodically.

R

I have this one form in my application which has these
dates for the dates the sweepstakes is going to be
happening. These dates are changed/updated every month and
I want the users to be able to do this rather then me
agoing and changing the dates thru Access.

1)Someone told me I can use .ini files for this? How is
that done?

2)Also, any other way? like say I create a .txt file and
have the file embedded in to the form as an object by
setting its control source property to this .txt fle
location. Can I do that?

Hi,


Since you are using Access, I fail to see any relevance about using an INI
file, or a text file, under that context. Use a table! Display it as a
sub-form, or otherwise, but as a table, you can do a lot without a single
line of code, which is not true with a INI file. For a text file, they are
generally not "updateable", you have to re-write them. So, a table is much
more flexible, assuming you use Access.

Hoping it may help,
