| Post subject: | List for storing names |
What is it you are trying to achieve? I am trying to make a turing file that will create a file on a wordpad, and store names (from video games, people I don't want to group with). I want to be able to type in names, classes, levels, and reasons for people I don't want to group with again. I would like to be able to search them by name and get a list of those stats on that person, and be able to remove them from the list. I also need to be able to list them all off. What is the problem you are having? I haven't used turing since highschool. I probably could have pulled it off back then, I remember knowing this stuff, but forgot how. Any quick tips, or useful shortcuts would be helpful. Describe what you have tried to solve this problem I am reading over the Turing tutorials from this site. So far I have read over the first few basics. Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long) I am doing some more reading before I start. Figured I'd submit this, hopefully get some advice while I read on. Please specify what version of Turing you are using Turing 4.1.1 Thank you, Zzyxk |

What you need is an access database and to make use of the form designer. |

Well, I have Microsoft Access, I don't know it very well, I've used it once for a chapter in a class. I figured relearning Turing would be quicker. |

No, this is precisely what access was designed for. You should try using it, perhaps read an intro tutorial. |

Any relational database would do. If Access is your only experience with databases, it's probably the best option. |
