If MS Excel is the front end, what will be the backend? Are you looking to create a GUI in VB and store the data in Excel?

Better clarification of what I am looking to do:

Is there a good site or can some help direct in creating a GUI for an excel workbook. Here is the situation I have a workbook with 15 different tabs. Each tab contain different information for inventory purposes. I would like to create a GUI that will give me the ability to search the various tabs for information. (FYI Access is not an option that would be the my prefered way to go) in addition I need to have certain information on each sheet as a key in order to complete the querires. Any assistance would be greatful.

Thanks In Advance
Amer

If this will be a multi user application you will want to address data corruption and contention. To use Access with Visual Basic you will need to understand the Excel Object Model.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...ml/ExcelObj.asp
Once you have an understanding of the objects you will be able to programatically access and control them.
