In the next couple of months, I'm going to have the opportunity to write some management software for the maintenance department where I work. What I want to do is have a main database on a local area network consisting of 4 to 5 machines running Windows NT 4.0. Then have VB user interfaces to enter dept. forms and spit out reports.

My main problem is I'm just now learning about database stuff with VB, and have no idea what the issues and complications are likely to be. And I have no experience at all with LAN's or Windows NT. If anyone can give some information on these topics, maybe just point me in the right direction to what I need to know, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks
