Well, I'm gonna write a new program. And I need to know some facts.
It's a program that have:
1. Customer
1.1 Paid
1.2 Address

2. New customer

And so on, I hope you get what I mean? Like you can show a customer then under that customer there will be information about that customer.
And then I would add new customer button etc etc..

But I need to know, I need this to connect to a database and then could show it online, is this possible and what sort of database should I use?

And one last question; What language, C++? Visual Basic? Python? Or another, I know most languages. And I am a great learner, and fast learner so no problem but I need your opinions.

If you're going to do this as an online application, you're probably going to want to use PHP, XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript. If this is going to be a standalone application, most any would work.

Alright, but. Is this possible:
- Make it in C++ for a computer
- Then store all the data in a database
- Then show some of the data online?

[WingedPanther]

It's very possible, but you're back to needing PHP, XHTML, and CSS for displaying it online.

[Dennis K]

Yeah I can easily do the online-part. Thanks :)

You don't really need php and company. Personally, I like to stick to as few languages as possible on a single project. Try looking at SQLIte for you database and use a cgi to display the data.
