It sounds like you've finally gotten a problem hard enough that you can't jump straight into code and will have to do some design work first. First step is to devide the problem up into smaller problems. Theobvious division here is a class that hadles the board and then some kind of user interface.

Starting with the board class. Figure out what kind of data structure you are going to use represend the Sudoku board. Likely this will be an array with the same diminsion as the board. Next deside what you need to store in each square. Just an integer or likely some more data. What you store in each squear will likey evolve as you design the methods that manipulate the board.

There is your start
