Phone Words Project

[Adrien24]

Hi, I was wondering if any could help out a newbie in programming. I am currently in College taking Intro to Programming and I am having difficulties with making a Phone Words program that does the following:

Transform words to numbers (Phone Numbers)
and
Transform numbers to words (Having a combo box underneath the output textbox to give the user the chance to use one of the 3 letters within that number.)

If anyone could show me how to do the code... nothing too advanced... I'm only a starter. Thanks alot!

:mrgreen:

Why don't you post what you have so far?
No one is going to code your whole assignment for you for free.
