So you have a little programming experience? What in? I do Visual Basic, C++ (currently taking a class), java, and at one time qbasic and pascal. Unfortunately, java and Visual Basic are the only two languages I could program in for Windows, because I don't know Visual C++. Java would be difficult for this application though, leaving us with Visual Basic or me learning Visual C++ (which may be possible.) What do you think?
