VB5 Question

[NewGuy]

I want to store the name of the last form the user was viewing in a TEXT file on their Hard Drive.

I have tried stuff like "Dim TheLastForm as Form" and then setting TheLastForm to what was read from the TEXT file.

I can not get it to work, except to use a very ugly "Select Case" statement listing all my forms, which are starting to add up.

Is what I want to do possible some way other than the UGLY way.

Any help would be appreciated. ===========================================================

hai newguy,
this is srusti here. why don't you try registry man. <B>getregsetting()<b> can be quite handy. get the help .

 

[srusti]

sorry for my notification new guy

use GetRegSetting()

My problem is how I use the stored value to open the last form viewed the next time the user starts the program.

I forgot to mention this part in my original post.

Thank you....... ===========================================================
