Posts: 5                Hello all,

Ken from Wisconsin here, hoping to get some insight about how to go about 
making an editable spread sheet for a simple employee database program that I 
am making.  

I started out thinking I would make a multi-dimensional listbox, but I have 
found them to be complicated and, also, possibly not the best option in terms 
of efficiency.

I also thought I could simply make a one-dimensional list box, but have found 
that route to be impractical, as well.  

Ultimately, I admit, I am new to computer programming, so there may be a 
relatively simple way to use either a one-dimensional or multi-dimensional 
listbox, but if there are simpler routes I should take or if it would somehow 
be possible to use arrays, I would appreciate any bits of knowledge that any of 
those of you who have been doing this longer can afford to me.
 
I'm essentially trying to make this spreadsheet shown below.  It will have 6 
columns, and I would like users to be able to add or delete rows as they feel 
necessary.  I appreciate any input.

Location: England                The multi-column listbox should do all you 
need.
You can set the cells to be inline editable.

There is a (quite old) tutorial page that includes a discussion of that jere
