You could make use of a file server to store the movies and then create a table within your database with the movie title and links(directory path to the movie on the file server) so when a user searches by movie name, it hits your database, retrieves the associated link with the searched name and then provides the user with the movie located in the directory(link).

Bill Gates got DOS from IBM so cheaply because IBM didn't know what to do with it and didn't really want it. So yea, you buy something at a huge price that hasn't been developed yet. That's not stealing -- its just good business.

Not just business but Good Business. Bill gates is just one smart person the Tech industry needed and he brought a lot of competition into the industry thus leading to advancement in tech by different companies so as to attract more users and earn higher profits year after year.

Give more info on your request and if possible, post some codes on what you've done so we could have a clearer picture

I have coded in VB, C#, C++, Java, HTML, SQL, and some PHP

HTML is not considered a programming language but i must say you've made a commendable progress. i actually started programming in 2008 and I've focused intensively on VB.NET though with understanding of C# but no project executed i it yet. Recently, am trying to move to something platform independent so am reading up on java.

Best wishes!

What is the difference between MySQL and MS SQL? I think they do the same thing but I'm not sure of their differences.

MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. It is named after developer Michael Widenius' daughter, My.The SQL phrase stands for Structured Query Language.
The MySQL development project has made its source code available under the terms of the GNU General Public License, as well as under a variety of proprietary agreements. MySQL was owned and sponsored by a single for-profit firm, the Swedish company MySQL AB, now owned by Oracle Corporation.

MS-SQL is also an RDBMS but owned by Microsoft and that's the reason for the prefix, MS. They basically do same things but may vary in syntax and acceptable wildcards in their SQL.

Is it possible to have a script automatically input people's information into the Google's address book?

Not sure but i think Google provides some contact API that work with apps where that may provide such services. You can check here for more info

2. Would using an SQL database useful / make my job easier? It's okay if it doesn't go into the address book. Just something that will hold people's information and the data is easy to retrieve.

Yes you can. But it would also help if you can design a front-end application to interface with users and prevent unauthorized entry into …

you're not to copy all the codes under the search button. The codes under the Form1_load should be placed under your own form load event and those under the button1_click even t should be under your search button. It works well for me without errors

Your RAM seems to be enough for the O/S. I suggest you run a thorough system scan and you could also run a Disk Cleanup to help remove temporary data and other junks like cookies and dump files.

okay now. I got it to work, it was an omission on my part, did not change the 'Copy to output Directory' property of the html doc to 'Copy if newer'.

To add to Unhnd Exception's post,
> you need to add the following references from the .NET library:
windows base
presentation core
presentation framework
> Correction to one of cwarn23's points: its the 'Copy to Directory' property of the html doc that should be changed to 'Copy if Newer' and not the 'Build Action' property

Every other thing works just perfectly.
Thanks Unhnd Exception

Add a new html doc to the project and name it GoogleMap.htm and set its Build action to CopyIfNewer

Am sure you meant, 'Copy to output Directory' property of the html doc. Another thing, am done with setting up the project and codes as directed by you but when i run, it gives the following error:

Error: Project file must include the .NET Framework assembly 'WindowsBase, PresentationCore, PresentationFramework' in the reference list. WindowsApplication1

WIth this, does it mean i have to reference any of the .NET libraries. I really want to try this out so i need help here

am trying it out, can't see anything like 'CopyifNewer' in the Build action. What's closest to it that stars with a ''C is 'Compile' and 'Content'

You can still load your questions from a database and make changes to them anytime. Am not saying XML is not good but using VB and a database still works well and this way, your files are safe. Think about what happens if you use a text document and that document is mistakenly deleted.;)

I have the same temp table declared more than once

I would advise you try using another name but i would also like to ask if its a local or global temporary table. The reason for this is: Local temporary tables are only available to the current connection to the database for the current user and are dropped when the connection is closed. So if its local, you definitely can't create another temp table with the same name. It would definitely tell you that there is already an object with the same name as long as that connection is still open.

dim str as string
dim i as integer

'str', and 'i' are declared variables which can hold any values in accordance with their declared datatypes

Private Sub Form_Load()
str = Text1.Text
i = 0
End Sub

This code was written under the Form_load event so it means that:
the variable, 'str' should be assigned the value of whatever is in text1(which is a textbox on your form) and
the varable, 'i' is assigned the integer value of zero (0)

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Timer1.Interval = 100
i = i + 1
Text1.Text = Left(str, i)
If i = Len(str) Then
i = 1
Timer1.Interval = 100
End If
End Sub

This was to control how the timer control on your form should work and i would explain each line.
line 1....it has assigned the interval for the timer to hundred(The value is specified in milliseconds (1000 milliseconds = 1 second).
line 2.... The varaible 'i' with intial value zero incrememnts by one
line 3....this tells the compiler to begin from the first letter from the left of the value of the variable, 'str'. You need to remember here that the value of variable, 'str' is same as value of the textbox known as text1.
line 4......means that if the variable, 'i' which incrememnts by one equals to the number of characters in the textbox called text1 then the timer interval should …

Why don't you rather do it this way.
Use the series as an ID for tracking products then have another column(maybe named 'Number_of_Times_Ordered') and for each time the product is ordered or purchased, the value in the column is incremented by one. This would help prevent unforeseen issues. Like for instance, you want to make a search on a particular product, you must have to know the number of times the product has been ordered before you can get the exact ID(string) you want to search for and this would in turn result to a manual process and a total system failure in achieving the purpose for which it was built. So in my own opinion, just use the series as ID's to track products then have a counter for each purchase of a product.

Goodluck!

According to my knowledge,

Am happy you said your knowledge and not the generally accepted one.

Google provides relevant information for your search.I think 90 percent of internet users use Google as the best browser.

Talking about Google for relevant information, did you mean Google search engine or Google chrome? am kind of confused here. Because Google search engine providing relevant information does not guaranty that 90% of internet users would use Google chrome(Would that be a compensation?)
