Guest The X Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 I want to create a simple database program using VB in wich I could put each of my classmates and giving them attributes based on physical description like gender, age, eye color, hair color, etc... The program must be some kind of search engine in wich I can search using those attributes and show results in order of match percentage. If I search for males with blue eyes and brown hair, I should get: 100% Males, blue eyes, brown hair. 66% Males, blue eyes, other hair 66% Males, other eyes, brown hair 33% Males, other eyes, other hair. If anybody has some skills in programing, please give me a hint, or a link for how to create such a program. I did it some time ago using a program called toolbook but now I want to try something like visual basic 2005.

Guest db ´¯`·.. > Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Re: Visual Basic Data Base visual basic if fun but requires time, dedication and patience. and if your looking to make a quick project, you are really leaping into the realm of programming by using visual basic. instead i suggest to use either ms access or excel spreadsheet and looking for a template could be a better solution, then learning programming from scratch. if you do not have these office programs, there is a freeware called open office that has similar database building modules. if however, you are set to use visual basic as the medium for your project, you should buy the programming book and or this link can be helpful to further your technical know how: http://search.microsoft.com/results.aspx?mkt=en-US&form=MSHOME&setlang=en-US&q=visual+basic -- db ·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·..><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º>¸. ><)))º>·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. ><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º> ..

Guest Newbie Coder Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Re: Visual Basic Data Base X, VB.NET Newsgroup: microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb ======= If you use the above newsgroup NEVER listen to Herfried as he has no idea of what he is talking about. You ask for something & he will search Google get you something that is not even close to what you want & in a different language.
