Here is a diagram I draw.

My goal: Use this as task checklist database. I know there's already a template, but not a checklist typo.

explaination:

Save: Save as new user. If user already exist; Reject save and tell user that it already exist so use Update button instead.

Update: Update existed data information with a warning are you sure incase of accident.

Search: search by either Name, Tag, or Service Tag. Doesn't have to fill-in all info here. Can just type the user name and search or etc...

Checklist: task such as install flash, install office, etc...

Checkbox: Uncheck as default and able to check it if task is done.

I like this to be more like a database type.[/img]

I would use asp and C# for this rather than VB. You can even put it inside a pretty page and either update it per event like click a check box the db updates instantly or wait until completion to update the form. You can use the ODBC adapter to have them talk to each other. Don't have an IIS server? There is an Apache ASP plugin, Mono http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page that allows ASP to run on Apache web servers.

Otherwise try here.

not actually a website; just a database record of installing programs to pc for office users. This record tells me who got the pc with the service tag.

We use a similar method in Access though we pretty much just enter the serial number of the machine, the branch it was sent to, the user, the ip assigned (for remoting lookup purposes), and the date it was issued. All the software setup we enter onto a separate paper sheet, and throw it away once the data is entered into the db.

Currently, I'm hacking together a barcode scanner so I can just scan the barcodes and track our inventory.

you mind given me a simple to start off. BTW, I have no experiences in C# or C++. I'm only familiar 25% with Visual Basic.

With Visual Studio 2010, here is a decent example of how to write a basic service and client to communicate with it:

i would careless about the service and client. What i most concern about is how to design the code to restore and save the data I posted as picture.

program. Not a web! I think i answer that already.

I'm assuming using visual basic alone making the database isn't possible. But I could have swear I saw someone did it before. Just that It save the info into text and when search by the user name; it would search that file and display that info in a graphical interface as the photo I draw.

You could make it as a standalone application in C# very easily too.

You can do the same things in VB as C#, just port the code over. C# is just the more used language of the two as VB is fairly hated by most developers. (Not saying it's dead.)

By no means is it dead, I still use it at work for tons of things. Like grabbing lists of installed software from remote computers, getting the currently logged in user on a computer. Those are just easier for me in VB than anything else.
