    Well, folks, it's me agian. Here iwth a neew problem, ready, here we go...

    I am building program for this company that will log the names and types of computers that they recieve and set up, I have to forms to log the info, just need the forms to retrieve the info
    I logged:
    Computer name:
    Person Name:
    Date started:
    other info:

    how would I put those variables into a nice textbox with control to go to the next one, they are in this form (in a file called complog.txt)

    computernameblah
    nameblah
    dateblah
    otherblah
    ----------------

    (the line is really in there)
    whoever helps me out wins a prize! ( something dumb and relatively inexpensive (maybe a check for $.50))

    Your signture says "...get understanding." Well I really think you should invest in a VB book or two and take the time to study them and their examples to get the understanding that you need. It will save you time in the long run.

    I suggest you use a Database. It will be much quicker and easier.

    I would suggest a DB as well. Databases are easily: updateable, searchable, managable.

    There are some fine examples at: http://www.vb-world.net

    Also, crack a book!

    Just create an Access Database and you can easily add, delete, sort, view etc. different records.

    If you want, you can also display your Data in a grid (using the DBGrid control) rather than TextBoxes.
