icon Not a new topic probably

As i was endlessly searching on the forums, i cam across some situation which had a hintful realtionshiup with mine, so am just hoping that and probably there is someone out there, that can give me some idea or even link to how i could write a code and go on about this scenerio.

BarnetWorld is a travel agent in London wants a telephone call centre system to permit them to book flights for customers, they want:
To have a search facility to find a flight for a customer based on approximate date of travel, destination and number of seats required
If there are sufficient seats available on that flight it should be possible to permit the booking of seat(s).  The booking of seats requires the recording of a main contact name and telephone No along with all passenger’s names, address’ and ages for children.  
Once a seat is booked, the call centre operator should be given the flight No, date and time of flight to confirm with the customer along with a unique booking reference number.
Produce the system described above using visual basic. Your design should include link to underlying database structure, this will make it easier to record flight and booking details and remove restrictions of use.

Am sure there are geniuse ppl out there, would it hurt if u shared a bit of ur intelligance? please dooo..

Hello.
I don't understand at all what you're looking for.
If you look for hints, well here is the place but you didn't specify what is the problem you're not able yet to solve. But it seems to me that you're looking for a ready-to-use project (please correct me if I'm wrong). So, if this is the case you're right: it's not a new topic. But like for the others, it's not the right place here. Let me explain.
People here try hard to help the others to understand the concepts of VB programming. Sometimes this requires providing the exact code to use, but it never needs to write a complete working app to someone else (though I did it sometimes, and many other did). We can for sure provide help and suggestions on designing your db and your code, but you'll hardly find anywhere somebody disposable to 'produce the system described above'.

So, cleared this, my hints would be:
- Build a working database, outside VB. I use MSAccess when I need. You can design your tables and queries to match all the requestes you can meet. To build an effective db you'll need to identify all the data you need to store in, and the relations among fields.
- When your db is ready to store data, and returns the values you need, start designing its interface by VB, and design the features you want your app to provide. You got to link to db, link your vb controls to fields, sometimes you can copy the queries' SQL code in the db and paste it into your VB code.
- After the interface is working and tested, you can mind to further expansions you didn't consider during db design phase, like (I don't know, just figure out) "How does Mr. BarnetWorld get the flights data? Could I link to the internet to download flight companies' seats to book? May I add the capability to make a phone call to the customer/company/stored number?....." and so on.

During all this process, if you need to ask "Does anybody know how to...?", to cross a particular hard step, to refine your code or your app, you'll be welcome here and you'll surely find somebody who can reply. But you got to clear specify time by time what is the question you're actuallly dealing with.

Hope I helped you. I'll read your further posts, and if I'll know any solution you need, I'll try to help you. Somebody else has done and still does it to me.

First of all thnx for the reply, i was hoping that after long sentences i would make my siyuation clear, but let me summerize things up, I've just started using VB programming about three weeks ago and this is my first assigment at uni concerning programming, so am not expecting the whole assignment fall into my lap without me doing anything, just have difficulty writting codes, so far i can make a a simple maths game, anyways trying to give u some idea of my level, so the thing is that i was searching an app like this one, cause there bound to be some kinda of a booking system with a search facility out there, that i can manuplate it's code, plus as u know documentation is required, that why i need to have a hand in it (understand whats going on) anyways cheers for ur time , once again
