    Smile Database Newbie

    Hello All. I am just staring to use databases, and I would like to know which type would be best for me.

    It would deal with saving Item Names, Prices, Price Difference from the last week, and how many times it had been sold.

    I'm currently using VB3, because It has to work on a 16-Bit system. The only control I can use is a Data Control.

    Thanks everybody,

    There are no databases that are easily available for a 16bit system. You question is kind of like asking if anyone has a part for a 1934 Ford. They are out there, but you are gonna have ta look for 'em. . If you can find a copy of Access 2.0, that would work.

    Why are you developing for a 16bit system????? Surely you can find work elsewhere.

    I have to work on a 16-Bit system for my friends PC.
    unless anyone could send me a spare copy of the windows 3.11 upgrade to windows 95, then maybe i'll program it in vb6.....

    how can I use the data control for my databases??

    thanks,
