Ok, what i need to accomplish is a system that can monitor its self and I think with the right code implemented i can make it send out an email to order the parts that are low at the end of the day. the first think i want to try and tackle though is check in check out which will basically my add or subtract one from a selected record in my amount in inventory field by the push of a button. I am just starting to learn vb, so can i get some one to tell me how to apply that trait to my button or buttons
