The third week of the attachment
is considered a week where I focused greatly on learning Visual Basic 5.0, especially in
dealing with sequential files. I surfed the Internet for tips and information pertaining
to handling sequential files. There are a number of sites that I found it to be useful for
me in creating the mini-project, and perhaps Project ABBA too. Below is a list of tasks
and learning points that had taken place during the entire of this week.
