Can this be done easily in VB

Ok, so I have a project in mind that I would like to create. Would VB be an ok choice (I hope so, its all Ive started learning so far). It is pretty basic but there are a few areas I'm not sure how VB would handle but I think it shouldn't be a problem at all.

-----Ok, for the details

Basically it would just be data entry into a SQL db. No biggie there. I know how to do that.
Now the fun stuff... I'll try to explain it the best I can

It needs to enter test results in to a database. Each test would obviously be done at a specific time. Each complete test would have 4 or 5 different areas. We will say section 1-5 for now.

I would need to create a session(or entry) for lets say 3:15pm, then I would want to enter data for section 1, click a button to go to the next screen(windows form) to enter data for section 2, then section 3 and so on. But I would need it to know Im still updating for that same 3:15pm session. When finished entering data I would complete it(save it).

I would also need to be able and go back and uncomplete and edit past test if need be.

Also certain areas would have a text box and if the user were to click on the text box I would need a 10-key pad to popup, whichever #'s were selected from that would show up in the textbox to be saved.

I plan on using a tablet pc of some sort that is touch screen to run this app so all the buttons/text boxes would be a decent enough size for your finger to touch without selecting other items. Which is another reason I need each section 1-5 to be on a different page/form.


To me it sounds pretty basic and nothing out of the ordinary. Im sure it can be done but wanted to get some insight from you more experienced users before I even started.

Im still learning in vb and I know basic sql queries etc and can insert/view info from a datase.

Thanks guys and I appreciate all the help. You all helped me a lot on my last form (which was a simple form to view a database)
