Maybe this forum isn't the proper one for this so forgive me. I have a simple program I wrote in VB. It works like a simple check in/check out program. It deals with 2 strings currently. One is the item# and the 2nd is if it's checked in or out. So I have a text box for each and then a button to accept the values and store in the corresponding strings. I'm not sure how to do the next part and I'm very new to VB as well. First I thought if I had an excel file with all the items stored, then the program could locate the matching item then change the In/Out cell accordingly. How could I do this and perhaps this is not the ideal way to accomplish this? I then thought I could store all the items in the program itself in some type of array perhaps, then just export to an excel file when I needed a current report. This would make moot the issue of the program trying to update the excel file while someone else is viewing it causing an error because it's open. Hope my question makes sense?
