Thank you... I have not thought of having someone else write it.... but
hey it may get to that point!!! What would be a reasonable fee?
I am checking out Star Basic.

Yes, for VB you have to use Microsoft Office.
OpenOffice.org uses Star Basic and there is information about how to use it:
A. In the help.
B. In the online documentation part of www.openoffice.org.
Star Office IIUC will read VB in, but converts to Star Basic internally.
Writer is an OK platform for creating a GUI to interface with your database.
Writer also allows macro control. Of course if you are asking someone to
write the Macro for you you are obviously prepared to pay for it. If however
you are going to write it yourself then by all means ask about specific
issues, once you have researched the right language.
