Question

I am working on a windows app. The user has to register first to use this application. So in order to store user information, I am using MS-Access as a database. There is not much information to be stored as this application will be on individuals machine. There are few settings and some user information to be stored.

What I am feeling is that with the use of MS-Access, my application will be dependent on other application as MS-Access. It is not necessary to have the MS-office on the end user’s machine.

So can you suggest me the best way to store the data safely without any dependence.

One thing I want to clear is that, the information will be of different types like it will consists of user information, some folder/files paths and some other information. I would like to keep these information separate from each other.

Thanks
Abhie
