I'm confused. I know nothing about programming, SQL, XML, VB6.0, VB.NET,
etc. I want to create a simple database for a project.

Then, I want to be able to sort classmates with physical attributes like
gender, skin color, hair color, eye color, height, weight, etc.

Then I want to interrogate that database with parameters like:
Show me all men taller than 5'7", with brown hair;
Show me all woman with blue eyes and blond hair;
etc...

I want an application in wich I can easily add new profiles. Does such a
program exist, if not, How can I create it.

I repeat, I know nothing in programming so don't use any abreviations.

Would access 2007 be useful?
That would help me a lot

Yes, you could do it with MS Access. Best to post further questions
in an Access newsgroup.

you have asked
this question before.

here is a place to
download pre programmed
templates for your program.

you may have to modify
a template by adding/incorporating
your own criteria as new fields

or

simply renaming a few of
the included fields with your
own criterion, eg height, etc......

g.l. & have fun!

Access is capable, you might want to buy an Access book or you can use
access help and wizards

Since this is a general Xp questions group an office or access group would be
better suited to answer your questions.

Try this link.

Yes, Access would handle that neatly once you got the forms designed.

Excel could also handle it rather easily. Your requirements are meager as
database usually go, so Excel might even be the easier route.
