Hi. It has recently been decided by my company that to facilitate changes in the future, all database connection information such as sql server name, database name, login, password, etc. should be placed in an external text file, rather than residing within the VB.NET code. They want to avoid recompiling programs when changes occur.

The problem is that I have no idea how to do this. Any help, at this point, is greatly appreciated!

Nevermind, I have solved my own problem. For anyone else that may run into a similar issue, I used the App.Config Project add in to save all of my application settings.

As another aside, this is the website that provided me with the information I used: http://www.vbcity.com/forums/topic.asp?tid=76123
