Hi!

There are several ways to organize stuff...like you want to do. Some of the ways are like using a text file or an ms access database.

So it's upto you how do you want to organize the data. If you could just explain more what you are trying to do then we may be able to help more.

Thanks!

Right now, I have 84 different text files that I would like to organize so right now, that means 84 different if statements that really hurt the program. I do have combo boxes for ages, events, and sex and I'd rather not use microsoft excel or microsoft access.

I'm a little confused on what exactly you need as well, but if you think you can organize your info in a database, you don't need Access to do that. You can create a VB application that is fairly straightforward and simple with ADO Database connections or the VB Data Access components and ODBC connections to .csv text files if you are desperate. It actually works pretty good, but I wouldn't rely on it for a whole lot of information.
