Develop a Preferences Form

[Stephen Lynch]

I need to set up a preferences type form. What's the best way to accomplish
this. Can I store this data in memory as a variable?

Here's what I need:

Customer Name, CustomerID.

I have been reluctant to put it in a table because this is the only data
that I need.

Plx lead me down the best path.

For user specific preferences, it is usually best to use
GetSetting/SaveSetting to store the preference in the registry. Or the
preference might be saved in an INI file. Note that GetSetting/SaveSetting
stores data under CURRENT_USER vs LOCAL_MACHINE, so, an INI file might be
best if the preference needs to be applied to all users of the PC.

For preferences that are of a global nature (i.e., some organizational
setting that applies to all users/all PCs), these are best saved in a table.
