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)

I have two books, Using Visual Basic and 1001 visual basic tips.

Both books help but do not have what I need.

As a second note,

I was hopping someone had already wrote a small program when they were learning and would not mind
sharing it.

I still have a POS program I wrote back in '82 on a apple II+ and used four disk drives.
I did not get the chance to finish converting it to run on a Sanyo mb555 on Turbo Pascal v3.

Look at 'Visdata' in the Samples Folder. It's got everything need.

An easy way to do that is the Add-Ins "Data Form Wizard".
This enables you to create fast a form thar contains every common
command in the database. "Delete" "Insert" and so on.
Go to Menu Add-Ins and access the Add-Ins Manager. This will open a
dialog box that you can choose the Data Form Wizard.

Doing that, it'll create a sub-menu called "Data Form Wizard".
Answer all the question and VB will create your form.
