Hey guys.

I'm wondering if there would be anyone willing to help me out with a project I have been given to make in Visual Studio 2005. I have to create an address book which stores the names and phone number in a text file. It requires a list view of the contacts (alphabeticaly sorted) and and their phone number and the ability to add/edit/remove those contacts. Below is a suggested form layout.

With the Dial button when it is clicked on it needs to look like it is calling the actual person you have selected and once you hit hang up it goes back to the contact list

I think that is all what I need to cover.

Thanks Heaps

To store the information like a database in a text file is random access file stream. Its very easy and uses record numbers. You can use it to store multiple fields by declaring "Type" variables. Maybe this tutorial can help you out...
