[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 5098526, member: 5100"] Visual Studio 2008: [url=http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/]Microsoft Express Downloads[/url] This app is written in VB, so download accordingly. Personally, I'm a C# guy, so I'm gonna recommend you get that download, too, especially if you've done Java or some flavor of C. Lots of info here: [url=http://windowsclient.net/]The Official Microsoft WPF and Windows Forms Site[/url] Even more here: [url=http://asp.net]The Official Microsoft ASP.NET Site[/url] I recommend the asp.net site learning tab, even if you aren't planning on doing web development. The backing language is the same and, strangely, the web guys built a better site. ;) The main trick to adding the extra window will be in either moving the data objects to shared location and/or setting up events to keep the windows in sync. I'm looking at adding a WPF front-end to it, as a learning exercise. WPF has some pretty cool data binding that'd pretty much handle the updates automatically. Unfortunately, I have so little "free" time, right now, that it'll be months before I could actually get it done, if ever. Giving tips and looking at specific blocks of code takes considerably less time, though, so feel free to ask, if you get stuck on something. [/QUOTE]
