implementing a simple database

[martybell]

hey i'm looking to create a really simple database in vb to hold an 3 different strings (or maybe some sort of array would be better?)

i just want the user to put a string into an inputbox, then it will send it to the database/array and then i can take the variable from the database easily later

can anyone help? please keep it simple!

Well you can use a text file too.. if you want. I never experemented with VB and Databases so I don't think I will be able to help you.

ahh yeah text file would work too, but hard to call a particular item from the text document maybe? rather than taking a string from a certain cell in a database?

Well will you save multiple strings? you can always make an enter between them and the load the text file into a listbox and lets say if you want the string 'car' and you know that car was stored into the 3rd line, then from the listbox you get the 3rd line and read it. But it is a little bit difficult, although maybe DB is even harder? I don't know.

But here is a very simple way to use databases, I found this on my forum.. I think it may help?

Help Needed !!
