Bookstore order form

[lipo]

I need to create a bookstore order form application. It should have a combobox that selects an item, a combobox that picks a quantity, and a list box that lists the items and the quantity.

Man... What does that say under that "Submit Post" button...

Promoting, selling, recruiting and "lazy students posting homework"
are not allowed in the forums.

So what is the problem? You know that you need to create a program that contains a couple of comboboxes, and a list box that is to be used as a book store order form application. Are you asking this community to do your homework? OR Are you asking this community as to how you might proceed? Because if it is the prior then you will get no help except for goto bookstore and buy book! But, if it is the later then there are several ways to capture and populate the information needed for display. You could use text files or binary files, or maybe even a database to hold your information. Which brings me to another point. Look at your question like you are reading it for the first time and tell me what you can make of it. Check out FAQ222-2244 for info on how to ask a coherent question.

Good Luck

I am NOT a student, I graduated years ago and have a doctorate. I was simply attempting to set up an order form for my non profit organization. Thank you for your help.

I have to agree with vb5prgrmr,

not to make this a slamming match but a graduate could surely create two combo boxes and a list box...

lipo (Programmer) I guess this was a faux pas on your part...

Ok, so lets start with what tools you have to work with. Do you have Visual Basic 6.0 Standard, Professional, Enterprise (this includes studio)? No? Then are you trying to create this with Microsoft Office? Yes? Then what version? 97, 2K, .Net? If you are trying to create this with MS Office then you need to go to forum707 or forum68.

If you do have VB 6.0 Make sure you have SP5 installed also.

Only need to read this if you have VB 6.0...

So what are your data requirements? Meaning what information do you want to capture? How will you store this data (see previous post)? Want to use a database you say? What type of database do you have, Access 2.0, Access 97, Access 2K, Access 2K2, SQL Server 6.5, SQL Server 7.0, SQL Server 2K, DB2, Informix, Paradox, dBase 3.0, dBase 4.0, dBase 5.0, FoxPro 4.0, FoxPro 5.0, FoxPro 6.0, or one of the many flavors of Oracle?

Once you have captured this data what are you going to do with it? Print it? E-Mail it? DTS it to another system?

Are you sure you want to create a fat client to capture this data? You may want to do this on an intranet using ASP, this would make code maintenance easer for someone who does "not have a degree or any formal education in computer programming".

I guess if you read the FAQ222-2244, you would understand that we need more information on what technology and methods that you want to use to accomplish your task.

Granted this note is long and may sound sarcastic to you, but if you take it with a grain of salt and read the words you will understand that we as a community are lacking a lot of information in order to help you.

Good Luck
