Hi,
I am relatively new to programming but have done a fair bit of visual basic. I had an idea for a system for a sport which i am involved which involves randomising competitors names into different heats as all competitors cannot go into every heat as there are too many so to make it fair they have to be randomised. For each heat (race) i would like a button to appear for every competitor which is clicked when that competitor crosses the finish line. The competitors are then given points, 8 for the winner, 7 for 2nd and so on. I would like the system to record what place each competitor crosses the finish and keep a permenant record of that result, ie in a database, xml file or excel table etc.
As i am new to programming I dont know where to start to this, just some pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Wilson
