You will have to explain your question in more detail. I don't understand what the question is.

You mean you want to create your own data store format for saving data to?

You can write to any format you want, you just need to know what you are want the file structure to be. See this article as a very basic example; Writing a custom Structure to a binary file in Visual Basic 2008[^]

Now I understand your question and I believe someone else has pointed you in the right direction for a solution, but you do realize that now you will be responsible for full data access; meaning searching, updating, deleting ... With a database engine you can write your data access with SQL, with your custom solution you will have to write a custom finder, etc. If it was me, I wouldn't do it. You can always try something like mySQL if you don't like MS-Access. Just my opinion. Can you explain why you need to store your data in a custom .dat file and not some sort of database engine (or .mdb) ? How many rows are we talking about ? 10, 100, 1,000 ... millions ? Maybe you could store your data in an XML file. Good luck. :thumbsup:
