Thanks again for your response! You are correct about my not understanding what you meant. The app.config is actually created for you by Visual Studio and of course...

Thank you so much for the beautifully detailed explanation! It worked like a champ! Just out of curiosity, would the same or similar procedure work for a Windows...

The application is a Windows VB app developed in Visual Studio 2008 so I don't think your response applies.

Thanks for the response though, I really appreciate the thought!
