pretty new to this, and i understand a fair bit, but when the prof starts talking about arrays i get lost, i have user inputs on the frmMain like name, address, city, then items like hatsqty, t-shirts qty, etc. and i need to transfer all of that to a form called sales, and eventually to a txt file using I/O (and that i kind of get. what the prof wants us to use on the second form is a list box, i was able to have some sucsess with a test app i made using a list view item, i just need some help to get started, one i get going i can usually figure it out, but right now gettin started is killing me!!! thanks in advance
