I have a question, I'm new to programming and would like to create a fairly simple program that will have Text boxes that we will want to change/update the content in. For example contact information, first middle last name, address, and phone numbers. I've gotten the layout down by just mussing around with
VB, but don't know if there will be a database connection? At some point I could also see the need to push this data to a database for housing multiple units. I would like to know if there is a book that anyone could suggest, I see lots of
VB books out there but am not sure exactly what might be more helpful for me in this situation. Also below is a quick idea of what I want to see with the program.
Program:
User inputs information such as contact info, favorite places to eat, favorite locales and bars, yadda yadda. This will be a combination of Drop down fields, and blank Text boxes, tabs etc.
User Interoperability:
There is a seperate section (tab or maybe just a combo of buttons) that can lock/unlock the data fields so we will only display the information from the text fields, and another for modifying the data.
Data--I would also maybe like to be able to export the data to a file for merging with a large database that would house each particular users information.
Also before the flame wars start up, I'm not a programmer, I don't know your language, so if anything above is impossible or stupid or whatever just don't fly off the handle.
