I recently downloaded 'Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition BETA 2'
I've read some of the help files, watched some tutorials and am pretty familiar (but still new) to the software.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me if and how I could go about making this software which processes information likes so -
- User inserts a USB storage device.
- User clicks button.
- Application silently searches for filename named 'JE1.txt' on USB storage device.
- If the filename is found on the device the application opens a simple 'messagebox' with 'Correct' or something in it that I can change. If the filename is not found a mesagebox with 'Incorrect' appears.
Any way you think I can build this Or will I need other software
Thanks in advance,
James
PS. I'm not that experienced so please keep it simple!
