I'm still looking for the methods to make a simple database which has the ability to list First and last Names plus City and Phone number with the ability to dial the number which is related to said First and Last name. I'm completely new to this but it looks very interesting. Experience is that I've done a fair amount in the past of Visual Basic but my heavy problem is that I'm older now at just about 79 but love to learn more as it keeps me young. I've already set up the database but need to find how or where to read up o n the rest of same to complete the little program. Verne H. Bohlender

Bohlender Verne, do I understand you correctly: you want to use MS Access as the database and Delphi as the GUI/Front-end tool? If so, feel free to contact me directly using my e-mail address... I#ll try to help you. Levend.

Thank you for the offer but I don't know how to find your e-mail address. Mine's verneb@sympatico.ca I just love VCL and the way it works but need a very simple example to play with and learn more from PLUS some direction on to which book might be of proper help. I'm slowing down is my problem though I still have lots of time being 79 in just 9 more days. I have a simple 5 item database set up now called PhoneBook with a table called Telephone of which I wish to make use of. I've had a larger program with all the Bells and whistles on it that I made several years ago using Visual Basic 6 plus years ago I used to work with the C language on the old Amiga computer using Lattice C.

I am not a big friend of client side data keeping, especially when it is already an Access MDB that is stored locally. While client side/disconnected data storage may have some advantages it (according to my experience in many projects) usually introduces many disadvantages. So my favourite way for (really) small db apps, usually with MS Access data storage is still using direct ADO stuff. One of the biggest advantages is that one simply needs to deploy the Delphi EXE file as all required ADO MS Access/JET stuff is included in all newer Windows versions. Levend.
