hi,
I'm clueless about programming but is trying to learn VB6 for a project.

The project is this:
I have an existing database where data are collected automatically by a SCADA software (a software to collect status of machines etc in factory floor to enable operators to view status from control room).
I have managed to import the data collected into MS Access Database.

The task i am supposed to do now is to create a reporting module, where the data collected can be used to generate reports.

I am planning to use VB6 for the reporting interface, but i have no idea where to start.
Any suggestions, please?

I would first start to connect to the database.
There are several ways to connect, View this thread to read up http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread41057.html

Then it's really up to you on how you want to display the information, graphs, in text, on screen etc,

Any other questions just ask
