Hi,
I'm not much of an avid programmer but If I'm told what to do I can nail it. I'm in need of direction on a project I want to start. I work at a school district and need to keep track of mileage - I could simply download a mileage log program, but that's a little too much work for me (I'm lazy) - I only have a few buildings I travel from/to, and was wondering if there was a way to make a program that say, you select from the drop-down menu, 'I wanna go to Central Office' and from another menu, 'I'm leaving from ____ building' and have it grab the miles from a config file or database, - i click 'save trip' or something and it stores the trip to a spreadsheet or something. Any help would be appreciated.

It sounds like you've pretty well nailed the spec. I'd probably store the distances in a file, since you won't have many. I'd use dropdowns to store the "From" and "To" selections.
