I am making a database for a small company (my dads friends buisness) and I have 5 weeks to do all the programming and such.

I want to make it using VB.net. I would like it to use text files rather than another program because I would like to learn how plus they won't need any extra programs.

I just don't know where to start. So I thought I would make this thread so I can post my querys and such and hope that I will get some helpful replies

.

Thanks.

Basically at the moment I have got the login form done and I don't know whether to start on the menus because I want it to go to certain menus depending on the user level (Admin, Staff, etc)

I would like to have a text file that holds user information such as passwords etc. So it will look up the username in the file then compare the password input the password in the text file and let them log on.

Is there a way to make the passwords illegable to humans in the text file? Not a major problem because it doesn't need major security though.
