I have a label that has text. When i load the exe file, i change that text. When i close the exe file and then open it up again, it is back to where it was before i had changed. How can i save the text that is changed?

You need to save the contents of the file out, and then load it back in again when you load the program. All data in programs is only temporary until it's saved. You can't save data back to an EXE file.

As to how you do this depends entirely on which version of Visual Basic you're using as the routines are different.

Are you saying i can't save anything in a EXE file?

That is what I'm saying, yes.
If you want to preserve the contents of the label in question, either rebuild the executable file with the label the figure it should be or if it's meant to be dynamic and you want to keep it, you'll need to save it out to a file. All an executable file is a set of instructions with what are best described as default figures, labels and text. Details of how to save data variables out are in the online help file.
