Hi, i am quite new to VB.Net so i don't no that much about what databases do what and what are best for certain applications,

I have 1 page which has 13 tabs and 3 buttons, both could increase, each tab contains 3 x Pictures, 3 Labels and 3 Text boxes (the text boxes will contain 200+ words and relate to each picture

The buttons are for individual machines and the tabs are for common faults on these machines, so i effectively have the data for 13 x 3 tabs

Button 1, 13 tabs with data
Button 2, the same 13 tabs but with different data in them
Button 3, the same 13 tabs but with different data in them

What i i don't want is the data in the Text boxes, Pictures, Labels, hard coded into the project, i need to go down the database route, the software will be installed on standalone computers once it has been finished, sql is only installed on the newer machines.

I was thinking about xml, but what do you guys think is the best approach in this situation.
