Is it common for addresses to change?
I am trying to develop a program where it automatically picks up the address and I can edit it as I want

but everytime I log-in the address is different so I can't save it

any ideas?

Yes, addresses do often change. The cheat Engine Tutorial covers this when it mentions "Pointers". The pointers don't change, and they dictate what the address that you want says. I think it's step six which shows you how it works. Here's a video tutorial set:

Pointers can change, but there are pointers to pointers. At the end there will be one static (nonchanging) pointer. I don't think advanced pointers are common but they are in the ce tutorials.

Address changes because of DMA or Code Shifting.
So finding a static address is required or writing a script to calculate the address from the base address of the module, it is found in to stop a code shift.
Someone PM'ed me once and told me they didnt think there was such a thing as code shifting lol.
