Apologizing in advance for my lack of knowledge and thanking you in advance for your help.
My task is to read in a large file of text (fixed-width), and sum an amount in each record (filtered by the user using a form). Example, the user checks the "Male" checkbox and the "NewYork" checkbox, and the program adds the "Amount" for all males in New York and pops out that number.
So far, my program reads the text file in and stores it into a datatable which is defined in the code, but after that I'm pretty lost. I have tried researching it, but it seems like most references are connecting to Access or Oracle and using a OleDBDataAdaptor.
I am using 2005 Express Edition, if this helps.
I haven't given enough information, please let me know.
