Re: Please direct in right direction...
Are you going to be dealing with tens of thousands of coupons?
I didn't think so, so why bother using a database with Access and mess about with all the setting up when you can create your own simple textfile with the information you require. You don't even need to have the kiosk directly connected to you, it could get the textfile from a location online and you upload it there (or FTP it over to the kiosk if you run a prog to do that...personally I suggest HFS which is actually a HTTP file server with uploading capabilities).
You don't need to use a sledgehammer to crack open a walnut :-P
Well, everyone else has been doing it :-)
Loading a file into memory QUICKLY - Using SendKeys - HyperLabel - A highly customisable label replacement - Using resource files/DLLs with VB - Adding GZip to your projects
Expect more to come in future
If I have helped you, RATE ME! :-)
I love helping noobs with their VB problems (probably because, as an amateur programmer, I am only slightly better at VB than them :-)) but if you SERIOUSLY want to get help for free from a community such as VBForums, you have to first have a grounding (basic knowledge) in VB6, otherwise you're way too much work to help...You've got to give a little if you want to get help from us, in other words!
And we DON'T do your homework. If your tutor doesn't teach you enough to help you make the project without his or her help, FIND A BETTER TUTOR or try reading books on programming! We are happy to help with minor things regarding the project, but you have to understand the rest of it if you want our help to be useful.
