How about using the "Registry" (couldn't resist).

You'll have to have some mechanism that identifies a returning user, similar to a cookie in a web browser. I'm not sure what you could use from a VB program to remember a user.

The registry is a little too dificult for a beginner, it could be better to store user and password in a file (ie .ini with all configuration for the application), but it could be better to encrypt the user and password, a way to do it easily is just add a number (from 1 to 128) to each character so if somebody try to type it like that it wont work.

Just save it in a file as I said before.

How to save a file?

Open FILENAME for output as #1
print #1, VARIABLE1
print #1, VARIABLE2
Close #1

How to read It?

Open FILENAME for input as #1
Input #1, VARIABLE1
Input #1, VARIABLE2
Close #1
