I am entirely new at Visual Basic 2008 Express, and currently the only thing I have learned so far is the Designer portion of the program. I am a member of a fire/ambulance department and we are trying to develope a program for our ambulance to record calls. Using the designer in Visual Basic 2008 express edition, I devloped this nice looking form [screenshot attached].
This is what I need help with.
1. My form does nothing, obviously because it is not attached to a database. I know very little about databases, I know that you need to make tables which are what hold you data, but I have now idea how to generate tables from the form fields I have created.
2. I need to make the form Submit and Print buttons work. I I used the powerpack print form feature but all that does is print a screenshot of the form, and I need it to print a report of the forms entries.
3. I need to form fields to be searchable, so if I types in the run number or ePCR number it would bring up all the information for that submission.
If anyone would like to volunteer some time to answer some of my questions and help out this clueless fireman, it would be much appreciated.
