    Require some advice on how to complate a small project

    Hi all,

    This is just a small request for advice and pointers on how I could go about comleting a relatively simple project. What it is I need to store records in a database, I was thinking an access databse would be the easiest. There will only be two Records "Make" and "Model". I need to be able to add, edit, search etc. these functions are relatively easy to implement I think. The part which Im not too sure about is how to write them to a file. it will be a text file similar to this format

    var ModelsArray=new Array();
    ModelsArray[ModelsArray.length]=new Array('FORD','FOCUS');

    look forward to hearing the experts opinions and advice.
    thanks in advance

    Table for manufacturers (make)
    Table for models, foreign key to manufacturers

    Form for searching/selecting/editing
    On the for you can have abutton to export as a text file.

    For outputting to text, read up on :
    Open, Close, Print # (use strings)

    Two forms, one for manufacturers (text box filter perhaps above a list box).
    one for Models (uses a combo to select manufacturer? or text box filters) combo for manufacturer to pick when updating.

    Preferably use ADO, but up to you.

    BOFH Now, BOFH Past, Information on duplicates

    Feeling like a fly on the inside of a closed window (Thunk!)
    If I post a lot, it is because I am bored at work! ;D Or stuck...
    * Anything I post can be only my opinion. Advice etc is up to you to persue...
