Acknowledgement
We wish to take this opportunity to express our deepest and immense thanks to all of the people who contributed to this project and helped us at every step and provided us with their valuable guidance. We want to place to record our sincere gratitude to our project guide Miss Parmjit Kaur, who has made us abstain from being hackneyed by showing us a new way and whole new dimensions in the analysis of our project Welcome to Punjab Pivot of rich culture and heritage. We are much obliged to our Centre head Smt. Simran Bagga for liberally offering the facility to complete our project. We would like to take this chance to express our heartful gratitude to Mr. Hardeep Singhwhose initiative and selfness helped in accomplishing this great task.

INTRODUCTION TO VISUAL BASIC

Visual basic is very powerful and popular front-end-programming tool. Its latest versions have excellent features for working with the interest. It is also almost completely customizable through its new extensibility model. Accordingly, it has been include into curriculum of the course module on Post Graduation Diploma in Computer Application. The aim is to train the student or any working professional to write simple application program to meet the requirements of his organization or business. This course material deals with visual basic in a very systematic manner. As we proceed further the various features involved in the programming of visual basic are discussed in detail. It guide the retrieving properties and in using the various controls in an efficient manner. Also new version (7.0) of visual basic is more compatible and customized through its new extensibility model. The most important part that leads to an approach for connecting Visual Basic to the backend is data objects such as ADO, RDO and DAO. The active x data object to use this technique of database connectivity. Using active x programming a student gets exposed to one of the best approach to ward database programming. Microsoft Visual Basic Environment is fully integrated and supports the fully development life cycle. Visual Basic fully phase of the windows software Development life cycle, i.e. design, development and deployment visual basic provides you with a complete set of tools to simply rapid application development (RAD). Visual Basic has evolved from the original BASIC language, which is very widely used language. This is graphical user interface (GUI) based language, supports to windows programming. Existing objects are dragged and dropped into places instead of writing numerous lines of code. Visual Basic is a number of Microsoft Visual Studio, which is fully integrated suit of Visual tools that all have the same look and feel.

THE PROJECT EXPLORER WINDOW

The following section describes the different types of files and objects that you include in a project:-

 Form Module
Form module (.frm file extension) can contain textual descriptions of the form and its controls, including their properties settings. They can also contain form level declarations of constants, variables, and external procedures; event procedures; and general procedures.

Class Module
Class Module(.cls file name extension) are similar to form modules, except that they have no visible user interface. You can use class modules to create your own object, including code for methods and properties.

Standard Modules
Standard modules (.bas file name extension) can contain public or modeled-level declaration of types, constants, variables, external procedures, and public procedures.

Components
In addition to file modules, several other types of components can be added to the project.

ActiveX controls
ActiveX controls (.ocr file name extension) are optional controls, which can be added to the toolbox and used on the forms. When you install Visual Basic, the control including with Visual Basic, the file included with Visual Basic are copied to a common directory (windows\system subdirectory under window 95/98). Additional activeX controls are available from a wide variety of sources. You can also create your controls using the professional or enterprises edition of Visual Basic.

STRUCTURE OF A VB PROJECT
The project file is simply a list of all the objects associated with the project, as well as information on the environment options you set. This information is updated every time you save the project. All of the files and objects can be shared by other project as well.

When you have completed all the files for a project, you can convert the project into an executable file (.exe): From the file menu, choose the Make project.exe command. Each time you save a project, visual basic updates the project file (.vbp). A project file contains the same list of files that appears in the project explorer. Window, you can open an existing project file by double-clicking its icon, by choosing the open project command from the menu, or by dragging the file and dropping it on the explorer window. Project consists of One project file that keeps track of all the components (.vbp) One file for each form (.frm) Optionally, one file for each class module (.cls). Optionally, one file for each standard module (.bas) Optionally, one or more files containing ActiveX controls (.ocx) As you create, add, or remove editable files from a project, Visual Basic reflects your changes in the project explorer window, which contains a current list of the files in the project.
