Hi!
Am looking fw to start a project that stores customers, creates projects for a customer, stores expenses for each project and provides monthly reports of the expenditure.

Any idea where i can get sample to begin in any programming language.

Thanks!

Sounds like the exact kind of question google was invented for.

I have tried google - but its results are leading me to billions of results and a few that are closer are web applications which i dont want to use. Others like financial applications is just customer supplier oriented and not customer - project oriented. I tried looking for a vb sample which has user management so that i can start from there but i haven't found a VB.net user management sample. I am just trying my luck here for some ints...

It simply means that you are not ready for such a project and should pick something simpler at this time.
For a record, your description of the project looks too uncertain. It's useless to ask Google such vague questions...

you are right, am not prepared but i have 24hours to deliver. I need something simpler like student's project to improve and any missing areas. I just need something closer to this...

Well, it does not sound any serious... And I cannot believe you got the assignment yesterday. But if the assignment was as good in clarity as your question, I would advise to consider leaving that school. You could be one of those many victim of fake education... :-)

Google.

Try searching for template forms from places like http://www.samplewords.com/cat/business-documents/accounting-documents/[^]

or the Microsoft excel templates at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/[^]

Then convert from forms/spreadsheets to database / vb

Thanks! this will be a long short. But i will give it a try.
Asking such questions on Google (as well as in forums), makes little to no sense. If same exact projects (which you did not properly describe anyway) already existed and was publicly accessible, why would anyone need your work, after all.

Instead, you need to learn how to gather and analyze requirements, how to plan for main project components, how to review different technological approached to different components, and a lot more things like that. This is not so easy to do on your own. Maybe you need some tutoring or some opportunity to work in a team with some more experienced developers. Anyway, please see my comment to the question.

Thanks Alexandrovich.. i have never been working with a team. I have friends experienced but they dont share their work, they keep saying tomorrow which never comes. i have always built my applications from scratch though not experienced. I don't know what happened to "we dont re-invent the wheel" e.g. A user management class/project (login and your privileges are used throughout the project to allow and deny certain functions -for php web this is available even object oriented much advanced...), this i have never found in vb.net.Right now i have just decided to start creating forms and database (MySQL).Hope i will finish in 14hours..Thanks for your time...

The wheel... Hm... You are missing the simple point: the project is not the invention: if the project makes any sense at all, it should be developed, not copied or something similar to copying...

Sincerely..Why should i start building a user authentication class ( Add, delete, give privileges e.t.c) i cant re-invent this wheel. This is what i cant find to begin with. VB.net seems not to be well supported with good samples online..I don't know that is my opinion. thanks!

Don't mix up your project with some elementary operations. For example, you can easily find examples about adding and deleting items to/from different collections and databases. But if you tried to find how to add/deletes records on captive kangaroos in the European zoos, the results would me more frustrating. Not because nobody write software for kangaroo accounting, but because writing an article (and even separate software itself) would make no sense.

This is because people are reasonable and practice separation of concerns. You should, too.
