Afternoon guys.

I'm busy developing a program, databesed. That will allow me to keep track of all repairs, customer names ect for a shop. Now, I am usinf Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 to do this. However, I am running into problems, as expect. Since I am very new to these two bits of software.

Now, let me give a small example of what I am trying to achive here. The form1 will hold almost everything the app has to offer. The customer's details, repair details ect. Now, what I want to be able to do is have a textbox where I can type a job number, cell number or any relavent info, based on the customer. Then i want to software to find the infomation in the data base and display the relevent info in the relevent boxes.

Possible?

Next question..to simpliy things..could I have the above boxes as said above just to enter details. Then, when I search for customer it would just open up a box with relevent details..or is that harder to do?

Any help would be great!!

Thanks all!
 
MNuTz: No, it's just too messy and not what I really want. Also I am wanting to get into programming, so this is a great way to start.

TrUz: That makes a little sense to me pal. Will give it a try. Thanks a lot for the info. Now, I would have the code in the event handler of the button I want as a search button, correct?

The DataGridView, I haven't used before, however sounds like a way to do it if I have two of the same entries.

I will add you to MSN. Many thanks pal, really appericate it! :cool:
 
Start off with a data based program, then an rss feeder like I am doing. There is a lot of help on the MSDN site. :)
 
Thanks, Inquisitor.

Will be sticking to VB.Net C++. As I started it two weeks ago, so won't give up now.

As for the project..well I am seriously stuck with it now..:(
 
Hi Andrew,

Well, what I want to do is have a few boxes on a single form. Each box must have data. So, one box for first name, next box for second name and so forth. Then I want three buttons, search, add, edit, delete. (Sorry, four buttons)

Is this a dificult thing to do?
