1. Display text boxes to enter the item #, description, quantity and cost for three (3) items. Display a label box which will display the value of each item when either the cost or quantity is changed. Use a label box to find a grand total of all items in the inventory.
2. Use one command button to write the information in text boxes to the drive.
3. Use a second command button to load the data and store the item #, description, quantity and cost to the appropriate text box on the form.

   Anytime the cost or quantity change, all the item total and grand total fields should automatically adjust. The user should be able to save/recall the data from a text file at anytime.
