Coding Language Suggestion Required

Hello guys,

I will need to develop a very simple pc tool that can be run from an usb disk (xp/vista) and will be able to import/update data from excel files to an access db, all excel files will have different data but the same structure

The tool must be able to search and browse, insert, edit and delete data

The tool will have to be able to verify excel file date and warn if the date is oldest than the last imported file

It should be multi language, with the lang file being loaded from an external txt file

The question is what coding language do you suggest?

Thank you
David

Any language you want. It is purely up to you as any language is going to net you the same results. Just use whichever you are most comfortable and proficient with. But the easiest would be VB.NET or C#.

oh, PHP, all the way, PHP would be perfect for this ;)

Any language you prefer would be perfect as long as you can ensure that your users have the language prerequisites. For example, if your users have the .Net framework installed using VB.Net or C# is fine.

Actually, I think that using VB or C# would dot net you the same result.

Right, because this is something that's existing on a USB drive and taken to random computers, there may or may be any guarentee that the .NET framework is installed on them. If there is, then great, I say one of the .NET languages like C# or Visual Basic is your best bet. If not, then you possibly need a language that's a little more self-contained and compiled complete like C++.
