I have started working with C++ and I'll love to stick to it as I'm very comfortable with it. I would have loved to use VB.net as I'm more comfortabe with that, but, to the best of my knowledge, embedded programming is impossible with VB. Am I right?

If you are going to do this using c++, how do you use an Access file with it? I'm currently going through cplusplus.com to get info on this.

Thanks in advance

Well it's very possible and i don't work with C++ but it kinda easy to use Access file in VB

You can give some more detail so that we can know what's on your mind for the design. What kind of device? Does not look like the programming logic will be extremely difficult though.

About the BMI, that one can be quite easy . You get the height and weight. You could have the BMI curve hardcoded in the watch memory. after collecting the
inputs, find the co-ordinates and display it on the screen of the watch. If you want, you can send me an email to see if we can do it . I am looking for a challenging thing to do, I am on summer hols now.

good

I wonder if there is any language that will not do justice to this piece. But I only write VB and java. The platform on which it will run will be the determinig factor. I assume you are thinking about some handheld devices which means C++,java will be OK
I can help get some things you 'll need but probably in one to two weeks as I'm into some thing for now. I can even try my hand on the project and show it to you if you don't mind. But it will be in VB.net or java.
