Truck Tracker

i am attempting to create a vb program that will allow me to keep up with a fleet of trucks maintenance. i have already designed the form. for each truck i want a file for fuel, maintenance, repairs and inventory. i would also like the ability to input the same info using four command keys. Finally, I would like to have the ability to type in the trucks name and have a picture inserted on the form based on the truck name entered. The name entered will also be used to determine which truck history file to open. i would like to use either excel word or access as a reference file. ## Deliverables i already have the form designed. i just either need the code to access external files from vb. ## Platform windows nt, windows me
