Making an exe actually do its job?!

[AlphaBravo]

I created a small database c++ program that stores information on books.
I converted it to an exe and keep it on my computer-desktop.

My question is this...

How do you make the database exe program retain the information entered into it on the desktop. In other words; once I have converted the program from a dll to an exe and then type in the requested information on books into the exe program and then close it down, how can I then, when I reopen that exe on the desktop, be able to access that information on books I previously entered.



Thanks to anyone for any insight on this.

You need to save your information in a file

How is this achieved?

When the exe is running and information is being typed into it. There is no option for saving.
