Ron:

It's a tall order asking for people here to write applications for
you...but I do have a good suggestion. There are any number of excellent
books on VB5 and database implementation on the shelves today. Many of
these come with a CD-ROM that contain sample applications with their source
code (including small database apps). For example, I think there is source
for Visual Data Manager floating around out there...that's the app that
ships with VB. It is a straightforward program that uses all the major
database functions of VB4/5.

If you go this route you will have a good resource for the future (without
having to continually bug your reluctant new "mentor"). The best book, IMO,
is called Visual Basic 4 Database How-To. It literally gives you
step-by-step instructions for doing most anything a normal person would
need to do. I don't know if there is a VB5 version but there is very little
in that book that does not apply to VB5. (No I don't know the
publisher....just ask the people at the bookstore for the book)
