Challenge a Newbie!

[Guybrush]

Hi all!,

I'm an almost newbie, who know a little about VB, but not much...... I've red a couple of tutorials with the basic of just VB and then a tutorial about basic Access DB and VB.......

Now I just need to improve my skills by trying to make stuff.....

Please hand me some challenges.... just name a program and tell me what functions it must have and I'll do my best....

remember I'm an almost newbie!!

Thanks,!

Create a program that has an interface for an Access Database. That'll really get the ball rolling for you. If you want even more of a challenge, try handling Image fields as well!

Make something who will put in a database all url you have been in the day with IE. You will need to class them by frequency of visit.

Remake the windows calculator. You'll find that it has a few bugs, and you'll feel like a genius when you do better than the Microsoft boys. But don't compile too early, it can crash your system, or just cause problems.

Use "For I loops"

Try using both "If" statements, and "Select Case" statements

You'll probably have to use an array, but be careful with arrays. They can cause memory leaks, and HoSe a system!

Once you get the calculator to your liking, try adding things like: extra memory slots, blanks you can export the answers to, or a program kill\reopen key... Just for the HEy of it.

Good luck

Ideas:
- make a very basic encryption program
- make a program that makes the user input a date and then should the program calculate what day the date was
- make a notepad, or a simple login-program which stores your input in the registry and reads your input from the registry

good luck!

This is not to hard of a task, but You will be challenged.

First create an Access DB that has information about users.

Name, birthday, age

Create a form with 3 text boxes for each.
Create 5 command buttons.

Add, Delete, Save, Cancel, Close (Exit)

Now using an ADO connection. Link the text boxes to the DB and then put code in place that will allow You to add or delete people.

Now after You get that going, enhance Your form.

Add a label that displays the date and time. (You will have to use a timer to keep it refreshed...so it will tick!)

Try this...if You have any problems just send me a message. It is not too hard of a project.
