Hi ZeroCool,

I've written a Random Access File tutorial in which I showcase a contact management program which does pretty close to what you need (you'd need to change the input screens and the data type in there to fit your project, but I think it has most of what you need in there.

If you have questions about it, let me know. :-)

Hope this helps

I am pretty sure that someone wrote a tutorial about this in QB:XP a few months back...

*goes off to search*

OK, got it, its Mystic Shadows's 4-part series on databases. Do this if you *really* want to impress your teacher.
