Trying to write a video store program in access. Anyone know of an example
where I could study the code to do something like this. Especailly
interested in writing the check-in and check-out procedures of renting
items.

TIA

Ahh, the old video rental store homework assignment. :-)

Sorry, but we see this request many times a year. You should really do the
work yourself.
 
No, sorry. I am not a student. Trying to help my brother who just bought
out a small video store and the software that is currenltly being used is
extremely out of date and the company has gone out of business. Moeny is
real tight now and just trying to get by until we can buy a more
"Professional" piece of software.

But thanks anyway.

Well, perhaps it's just a popular request. :)

I found one reference indicating that the books entitled "Access 97 Power
Programming" and "Access 2000 Power Programming" come with a demo app for a
video store on CD. Perhaps you can find a copy of that.
 
Sorry to bother everyone. Just trying to help family out and also gain some
programming experience in Access. I am new to Access and thought this would
be a good project to undertake and learn as I went thru it. Didn't mean to
offend so many people.

By the way, the program referenced is NOT free.

Dude, lighten up :-) This is UseNet where the written word is often interpreted
with a tone not intended by the writer.

You didn't offend anyone. You asked for examples and got two suggestions on
where to look. For most specialized applications that is WAY over average. If
I knew the URL for the "totally free completely comprehensive video rental
Access application", I'd give it to you in a heartbeat.

Take your best shot and ask specific questions on areas where you get stuck and
you'll get plenty of help.
 
I wasn't asking for a "totally free completely comprehensive video rental
Access application". I was just asking if anyone knew where I could look at
some SAMPLE code to try to do it myself. And it didn't have to be sample
code for a video store. I just explained what I was trying to do. I was
merely try to get some assistance in writing a program that checked items in
and checked items out, whether it be video rentals or garbage cans.

Thanks.
