For the record I am NOT asking for help with my homework

Its a pretty standard project for a final assignment for anyone in first programming or final year highschool.

The basic concept is having a set of arrays that write to a file, that instruct the user what seats are avalible on a plane.

the grid is 4*10

Any advice?

set up a 4x10 boolean array. if a user claims seat[i][j], make that seat[i][j] = taken. Should be pretty obvious from there.

If you are using multiple planes, use multiple records in a random access file storing a fixed array in each file.

dim plane as boolean(3,9)

sub saveaplane()
	fileopen(1,"planes.bin",openmode.random,,,len(plane))
	dim rnum as integer = 0
	do while not eof(1) 'this just gets the record number at the end of the file, theres faster ways to do it but i really can't be bothered
		fileget(1,plane,rnum)
		rnum += 1
	loop
	rnum += 1

	if 00.checked = true then 'checkbox
		plane(0,0) = true
	else
		plane(0,0) = false
	end if
	if 10.checked = true then 'do all of these for a "checkbox array" on a form
		plane(1,0) = true
	else
		plane(1,0) = false
	end if
	fileput(1,plane,rnum)
	fileclose(1)
exit sub

You're going to have to write to either a database or a file so you can record what seats are actually taken. database is easy, but because you're not doing an online program (i assume...) then you're going to have to write to a file.

the file should be setup with each possible combination of a seat, which will have a corresponding place in the array.

ie. [i][a].[i][b].[i][c].[i][d]. etc.

Then again I know nothing about VB so you may be able to skip this and use an internal program memory.
