ummm....

a "score" tracker/team tracker for any sport e.g.

a tennis club/hockey club/cricket whatever?

Can you tell us what skill you have in vb and what the teacher told you about the project you have to do.

[da_silvy]

i think he has to come up with the project idea

Do what everyone does! A notepad clone with some extra features.

An encryption/decryption system....

Make a "Who wants to be a millionare game".

Make up stupid questions, and have 4 answers to each. Make up your own special features, and do your best for the "Ask the crowd" lifeline.

Have 3 players, and keep track of the scores for a "Score Board" when all 3 players have gone, or the game is over

...a program I wrote the other day stored all my names an passwords. I accessed it with a special password that I don't use anywhere else.

Once inside the program I had 10 memory slots. When you clicked to enter something in that slot a form came up, and you could entera username, a password, and comments at the bottom.

I thought it was a good little project to occupy my time. I don't think it has practical use because all your passwords are there to access, but it might get you a grade.

kewl program b-mysterio, can I have a look at it?

[-B-Mysterio]

Sure... I'll take the "secrets" out, and give you the project.

Here is the PassLock program. I disabled a couple of things, but the general program works.

I would appreciate any suggestions that you may have.

nice program, but maybe you should be able to change everything when you click the blank button and not have to press edit everytime you want to change something.......

[DaoK]

Filburt have done something like that but with more feature.

[[praetorian]]

Daok, I know, I tested it, but I wanted to test other programs as well.......

Or you could make a compression program. That is what i am currently doing (if it works it will have great compression but be a little slower than winrar)

[dis1411]

Make a "Who wants to be a millionare game".

the only thing hard (and its hard) about that is making up the questions, and making enough so the user hasn't memorized them after a couple rounds

Try and make a data entry system for exampl a system that will allow you to enter employees name, products and sales then produce a report all this sending the data back to a database

I'm working on my final project almost 5 months now! Every night I like work about 2 hours on it! It's about proving yourself that you can do something! So don't *****ing steal it from someone else!
The VB we were thought runs up to the very basic. (Except the last 3 lessons where we suddenly had to manage an SQL database throught ODBC in VB) And I was asked to do a "LAN Thermometer"! Some server program that collects information about the client pc's! I needed API calls and I didn't even know how it should be used. First I wanted to pay someone to do it but now I'm glad I'm making it myself! It's kinda fun! So get to work...

Ever thought of a program that thinks up a topic for a program to write??? Like, you enter in your interests/skills, and it comes up with a type of program you can make?? I'm sure this would be popular (esp. with the teacher )
