I got it figured out. Thanks anyway...

I have a form with a combo box on it and I want to be able to fill it with data from a database. I have created the database file but I am having trouble trying to understand how to bind it to the combo box. If anyone can give a begginer a push in the right direction I would be greatful, as long as it is not off a cliff. Thanks for any help, John

I know the example that I gave was not that good. Say that it's a 5 digit number and I need to validate the 5th digit, that is when multiple the 2nd and fourth digit by 2 and add the results to the 1st and 3rd digit you take the total of the answer and if the last digit in the answer matches the 5th digit, it validates true, else false. I hope this clears it up. I know there is an easier answer, I just can't figure it out. Maybe I am thinking to hard on it. Thanks John

I have to take a string of 5 numbers and write a function that will the second number and fourth number and multiply the numbers by 2. Then I have to take all the numbers add them together and take the last digit in the addition and check that it matches the last digit in the string. Example (12346) (2*2=4), (4*2=8, (1 + 4 + 3 + 8 = 16), The 6 in 16 validates with the 6 in (12346) I hope that someone understands what I am trying to do. It is giving me a real fit. I have been trying to do this for two days with no luck. Thanks for any help that you can give. John

I got It figured out Finaly!!!

I need to ask another question. I have to store the system time in a varible and then decide if the hour is 3 to 6 or 6 11 and then store the number 1.5 or 0.09 in another varible. I'm sorry but this is giving me fits...

Thanks for the help...

Usage I know this may sound stupid, but what do you mean when you say usage? And thanks for the Help. You will probably see a lot more of me on here.

I am very new at this and I am having a hard time with the Date functions. I'm trying to write statments to get the current time and store it in a varible (this much I got). The problem is that if the time is between say 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. I need to set the value of another varible to 1.5 and if the time is between 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. I need to set the same varible to .09. I just need a foot in the rite direction. Please don't be to harsh, I'm only in my third week of VB .NET. Thanks for any help.....
