building a virtual database with VB

[kcarrera]

Hello,

I am getting ready to build an application where the user inputs text, and upon completion, the app will generate a report. In order to hold the data, is it possible to build an array in VB? I mean, all the documentation I see says to put the data into Access, MSDE, or another dbms, but I want my app to have its own database ( I cant afford more software :) Is this possible?

Thanks for any help you may offer! and have Great day

with VB you can read/write to flat text files, so that is an option if you dont' want to go down the Access route later on.

However, with this situation you can easily use variables to store what you need, do a search on google for "VB arrays", comes up with all you need :) An array is fiddly tho, why not have global variables?
