Hi,

for my thesis I'm going, or it's better to say try, to develop some speech recognition application.

It's quite basic but still I'm stuck in the beginning.

The main purpose is: A user must log in, and when he's succesfully logged in, there will be a kind-of desktop in front of him, were there are auto. placed icons of the software applications he has rights to, to open them through speech recognition.

These rights, to tell which software a specific user can open, is defined by an administrator in a database.

now my question is: how can I read the database, check which software is true (it's a true/false field per software application) and then create an icon on the desktop, so the user can see which software he's able to open.

For example:

Database: user A: Word: true, access: true, outlook: true
user B: Word: false, access: true, outlook: true

when user A is logged in, he will see icon's to the specific programs of word, access and outlook where user B only see an icon to access and outlook.

Kind regards,

pieter

ps: what will be the best solution to place the correct icons? Hard coded in the vb.net application, or through the database? or another way?
