Hi Mike,
Thank's very much for replying,

Using VB is somewhat a "constraint" for me.

As for the Expert system, I need to do it for a case study of an unreliable
machines which requires the operator to be experienced. I will need to
"capture" his decision, such as what to do when what problems/parameter
occurs.

So far, I am aware of rule induction method, the if-then method and the one
I'm using, which is sort of matrix and value assigning system. (I may be
talking rubbish here but I was browsing through many books, so sorry for the
lack of understanding)

How would you approach this problem? and what book(s) did you use when
learning E.S?
(I found that most books about this subject is somewhat incomplete....and
relies heavily on prolog/natural languages--which is probably good, but not
for me)

Thank's again Mike.
