Unfortunately until you have some code to show us that you have attempted this assignment we wont be helping you, its in the Forum Rules and we strictly enforce that policy.

Given that, what have you been able to accomplish so far, what parts do you need help with, are you using VB6 or VB.net (Visual Basic 2005, Visual Basic 2003, Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition are all VB.Net) smile.gif

Here's my personal experience.
Don't just maintain a counter variable and keep incrementing it for every vote.

Some years ago I wrote a voting system for my school (to elect school officials) and one smartass switched off the power supply to the computer.

End Result : All previously entered votes were lost.

Luckily for me, this happened with the first 50 students so it wasn't a big deal asking them to vote again. But if it had happened at the end of the voting session, you can only imagine what would have happened.

The solution to this problem is to log the value of the counters to a file after EACH AND EVERY VOTE
That way even if somebody takes out the power, you can resume the system right where it left off.

Don't learn the hard way [wink2.gif]
