    Hired someone for SQL Server/ Visual Basic-getting screwed

    Hey Guys,

    First off I know absolutely nothing about programming ( vb/sql etc), I created a database on Access 2010, and im noob even on that.

    I have an access DB that I hired someone to port that over into SQL for me and also do the VB/design.
    I told him, I want what I have now on my access database, put online so I can be able to login from anywhere.
    It has been very awful/stressful so far, and have lost most of my patience as he said it would be complete in 2-3 months and it has dragged on to now 10 months, add to that, he recently told me I am his lowest priority at this point. (YES, slap in the face)
    I have already advanced him $2,000.00 and he has about 90% of the site complete ( But, its been that way for the past 4 months though.)
    Coupled with the fact he will not respond to e-mail/txt/phone call messages for 2 weeks-month at a time, until which he will finally respond by e-mail only.
    This pretty much happened the second he received the majority of the money ( $1,500 was sent 4-5months ago).

    So I have a few questions, because we had a disagreement on certain areas.
    In access, It is very easy to create a basic query, how long does it usually take in SQL/Visual basic to accomplish the same thing? Or I guess more importantly, how long would it take to replicate this specific situation.

    This is a truck transportation database.
    tblCustomer
    tblOrder

    On my access database I have a listbox grabbing all the names from my tblCustomer ( Attached a pic from my access db)
    When I select the Customer, out pops the results of the past loads I have done for that customer, It is about 10 different fields, Order#, Carrier, Rate$, Date, etc.


    How Long would it take to duplicate this using sql/visual basic. ( believe he is using php , again im very new but it is what I see in the url on what he has done)

    Any other info you need to give me a time approximation on this kind of query, just let me know , bare with me , as I have close to zero knowledge on this.

    Thanks everyone.
