What are you all doing?

I'm just doing stuff for fun allong with 6th grade homework. Right now i'm working on a program that uses Winamp as my alarm to wake up (Plays a song in the morning and turns up the volume). During one of my previous summer breaks while watching the price is right(in the morning) I Programed A Connect Four Game and It worked but there is no computer player(player VS Player only).

I'm an amateur.
Im currently working on a picture editor. Visual Basic is a bit slow for this. At this moment I'm writing routines for reading/writing files.

Hi, folks!

I'm working with my 2 first projects in VB.
They are going to deal with:

A)Data related to calibration of equipment, like sieves, crushers, thermometers, etc ...

B)Data related to equipment production (off-road trucks, shovels, digging machines etc...)

I work for a Company which produces Iron Ore.

I'd like to thank all of you for all of your help, these are the projects you are helping me to develop.

P.s. In case you are in some cold place, kindly receive some warm regards from Brazil, ok? ;-)

See you,
Roselene

I am working on several projects:
1) I wrote a standard error Add-In for my development team. It manipulates the code modules, creates routines, includes external BAS files and an ActiveX component I wrote that replaces the standard VB message box functionality. It give line number, call stack and other information and writes the error to a log file.
2) I am writing a VB Add-In for creating and maintaining Application Specific INI files. This consists of an Active X control I wrote that replaces the GetSetting and SaveSetting that you can use in VB for the registry. The reason is becuase we have a standard in our company to not write application specific settings to the registry. This Add-In allows the user to create and maintain the INI file from inside VB and of course use the Active X control in their projects to read and save data to the INI file during program execution.
3) I am working on a web site for a daughter company of ours. It uses Server Side scripting running on an NT box under IIS 4. I use JavaScript for client side validation and content enhancement and VBScript in the ASP pages.

Working on a program to do real time spectral analysis of sound using fast Fourier transforms. This program will be used to produce a graphical display of the frequency components of a human voice and has applications as an aid in the teaching of singing.

Im currentyl re-righting a securtity program for a MFS. Uses alot of oracle calls and treeview controls for the front end.

I'm currently working for a pcb factory. I support an ERP based on a BTrieve database (approx. 11 GB and 360 tables). Most of my VB programming is to add functionality to the ERP. I'm currently working on a program to store shipment information and print waybills, but I could easily be working on a prog for the Human Resource department next week, and the Planning department next month.

Hi there all, i'm at university and my project is to create an extension of the DBGrid control, as shipped with VB6, with anything useful that i can think needs to be added, so any idea's would be much appreciated..

bye now, Piers

This is my first project and I am designing a billing application for a internet company that will track all the clients and bill each client accordingly. My challenge is to incorporate an e-mail function that will let the user e-mail the within VB.
VB is a great tool and I am glad to be a part of the VB world :cool:

I write security related programs as well as time and attendance programs and anything else the company ask of me. At the moment I'm working on a smart card project and I'm struggeling my a$$ off. If anyone reading this know of a API or Toolkit for VB that handles smart card fuctions, I will be greatfull. In fact any help will be welcomed. I'm using a GemPlus GCR410 reader and a COS type card.

I'm making a powerful realtime network Appointment Scheduler for my mom's work, using an access database ofcourse ^_^. On the side as a fun project I'm making a web browser with the notorious ability to be skinned. It will also have its own email and chat later.

I'm writeing the back-office program of the videomat (Automatic Video Rent Machines). It's currently write with MS-Access but it's gona be upgrade to MSDE (or Access 2000) which is MS-SQL-Server. So it's gona be SQL-Server some time in the future.

I'm thinking to write extract utility for Winzip Rar and Ace but i still don't have the info on how to open RAR and Ace, so please msg me on how to open them if you know.

Thank you and have a nice day,
Kiron.

I'm re-writing an ageing db frontend to use MTS, so krlos, I know what you're going through - It's a steep learning curve, but worth it I think?

IanWhitehouse, 'Nuff Respect! That sounds like a real program to me...

Everyone - Good Luck and Best Wishes with your projects :)

Woa, d00dz.

You guys are doing some hectic stuph. I'm just an amateur, working for the government. I do some inhouse programming (nothing big,YET), but they never ask me to. I always have to take some initiative. Until recently when i was asked to do a macro in Word2000, and i found out that it would be easier to do, if I do a VB Add-In for Word. But i'm still scr00d. I've also been asked to do an Add-In (VB of-course!) for Outlook2000. It's not really FOR Outlook, as much as Outlook is for it. It's a program that will display the bookings for our seven meeting rooms - and clear them as they expire - on a big screen in our reception area. The reason it'll be in Outlook is so that people can view the calander (in outlook) and see if the meeting room will be available for the time they want it. This way, i can avoid DB programming, since i never did that before, but i can feel a DB program approaching soon.
Sorry, for writing such a long message. I always tend to do that. ;)

I'm writing an App to administrate information about contracts of the goverment oil industry with several companies. The system uses a FoxPro database as BackEnd by the moment, but I will migrate the database to Oracle 8 in short time.

In order to the number of solicited reports are growing up quickly, I'm thinking in the possibility to use the Crystal Reports to satisfy my users demands in 5 cities.

Could someone recommend me a good OCX to generate bar and pie charts on screen and to the printer?

Greetings from Mexico!

I am working in a major bank, and implementing an internal intranet site for our department. i just started learning VB and will use that to leverage my learning for ASP/COM/etc.

VB will be useful for connecting the employee database from a client/server perspective, and ASP will be used to connect the database on the web site.

right now i am working on the best skinnable clock program-turned-PIM available. it's called TYME. you all should look for it sometime in the future. it will be available via our website (not up yet) and through almost any shareware site. anyway, that's my current project.

Well everybodys got something to say, i mind as well share my ideas with you all too.
Im a amateur, and since i cant get a programming job (wont even try, to young) im going to sell all the stuff i make myself.

Right now im working on a firewall type program, thats far more superior then any out there..for now. Its more of a port listener then a firewall, but its cool. :)
I have a page for it, its under construction.. spelling errors, broken links ect. are present, you've been warned. ;)
www.members.home.net/invitro/
and the screen shot of my program is a bit outdated (to leazy to change it), its changed ALOT since then. There is no shareware\demo for now.

Im also working on another program, but its top secret.
Dont want any competition now do I? ;)


By the way, what is this oracle thing ive been hearing about in this forum?

Currently I'm working on two projects:

My first project is a quite big; I'm writing a kind of agent that will reside on each client in the network that will report to a database all hardware information/configuration each time the client logs on or when it detects changes in the config.

The smaller project is an analyzis tool for analyzing logfiles generated by a domino server... It will generate a chart and export the numbers to Excel, Textfile or HTML-file...

//Kenneth

i developed our company's
payroll system, inventory system,
man-hour system, etc.
but i still feel like an amateur
so much so that i can't answer
much of the questions here!!!

I 've got two things going now. One in Access97, the second in VB6.

The access is an automated QA/Validation app, that "sits" on an incoming stream of data that is fed into various data warehouses. It calculates all sorts of tolerances and compares account numbers to make sure they are unscrambled correctly. Users control what gets done by enterng their own parameters.

Second, will be a time clock app, Vb6 front end Access back end. Mgmt wants a app to prevent the employees of fudging the times they write down when the start and leave work. Should be fun, I will get to use ADO looking forward to that. Probably use crystal reports for the reports.

Kevin

KenX,

Don't feel bad,I've been programming for 4-5 years now but I still can't answer alot of the questions here. There's only certain things I've worked with so I only know them. But, I have learnt so much since I started coming here. All you can do is keep learning :-)

I do almost all database work.

My job descript/function is reporting I suppose.

I'm the "guru" when it comes to what is/isn't available in our Oracle Datawarehouse, and I work on applications to extract business-specific information.

I use a whole slew of tools, since I'm no VB expert in any shape or form.

Data extracts come from:
SAP
Oracle
Access 97 (soon to be 2k) networked apps.

Manipulation performed by:
VB
Access 97/VBA
Monarch

Outputs into:
However they want it. Delimited text, Excel format, hard copy reports (whee the report builder sucks in Access?)

I want to shed Access as much as possible, and move it to a VB --> Oracle environment.
I'm getting resistance from the higher-ups since they've got no one other than me to maintain the stuff =[
So maybe it won't happen; but once they see some of the performance improvements I'll more than likely get the green light.

Yay I get to learn ADO!

I make little programs that tinker around with Windoze. Such as a window controller that I am making has the ability to change the caption, set the position, Z-order of the window, and some othere little things I haven't implemented yet. Anyone else like doing this kind of stuff?

Hello there ... yes well ... I am busy with my MCSD course and I am doing the Optional SQL modules ... so I hope to be finished by the end of the year ... MCSD isn't all that BIG in South Africa yet, but then again I am not planning on staying for 2 long :)

I've been doing some projects in my spare time and am currently busy with a CD-Player and I want to do an MP3 player in the near future ...

Only been coding VB for a month now ... but I feel the power already !!!

I'm a community college instructor. I'm presently building vb6 tutorials to help me teach Microsoft Excel to Civil Engineering Technology students.

So, I'm professional in that I get paid for it but I'm an amateur when you consider my skill level.

I am an adult student, taking CIS in college. Working on an external degree and wondering if I will make it. I have been working with VB for 6 weeks and I am ready to SCREAM.
I have the working edition program and it has me really :confused: .
I am trying to decide what books I need or if I need to buy a program with an available help file.
I am enrolled in St.Mary of the Woods and my professor doesn't like external students, thus I have no help.
I am busy surfing this site "in search of answers".

Hey JohnAtWork,

You and I are kindred-spirits. I do the same thing. I was beginning to think that I was the only one who did this kind of thing.
Instead of SAP my company went with BaaN. BaaN has an OLE interface whereas you can send BaaN-SQL commands directly to the program and pull the data directly from the databases to your PC. I learned VB just to do this. I have been doing this type of thing with DOS based systems since 1984.
The company's managers come to me for their information rather then going to IT or MIS or whatever they call themselves these days. My exprience with IT is that when they do supply you the data it's on piles of paper, or they ask "Why do you need that?" or they say "That can't be done."
Most managers prefer their data in Excel so they can do their own analysis but I have supplied data in delimited or fixed-field ASCII files, Access, or whatever the customer wants all using VB. I also use VB to strip the data from reports as I've found Monarch cumbersome.

Al.

Bueno... Veo que alguien dio en el clavo. Que hacemos?
por mi parte desarrollo aplicaciones que en Republica Dominicana llamamos tradicionales: Nomina, Cuentas por Pagar y Cobrar, Inventario, Facturacion, etc. y cualquier otras aplicaciones mas o menos complejas en SQL/ACCESS.

In English. Well, At last someone is right. What are we doing?
I am a computer programmer in Dominican Republic. My APP are what we call here: TRADITIONAL APPLICATIONS, such as: payroll, accounts, invoces,etc. and other complex (more or less) APP. I use SQL or ACCESS.

Hello fellow VBers,
You probably don't recognize my name because frankly I haven't had a phone for about 3 months. HELP! Im a Programmer stuck with a short order cooks luck. Well anyway I'm currently working on 3 projects. A Spades Game, a dominoes game, and a replacement for windows explorer.
But I've played (and learned how to use) Everything from DirectX 7 to Databases so I don't consider myself an amatuer just unexperienced (not by my choosing though :)
Anybody in the Raleigh/Durham area need any VB expertise, please. See ya'll around.

I have taken one VB course in college and that what got me started. I have wrote 4 programs so far. They are Appraisal, TimeKeeper, Work Order and A Shift Planer. Hope to write more as new ideals come alone. It also a hobby for me but I have made a little money in VBing.

Dude,

Currently three projects under way,

1. At beta stage of a Customer retention/Sales Analysis desk top solution. The cool thing about it is that it allows the user to define their own database, and import data from any ODBC compliant database.

2. Just started on a Sales/Accounts system for a Small Ceramics manufacturer, am sweating on the release of vb7 to fully implement the e-commerce part of the project. These guys are hip to what you can do, drop their Purchase Order System on the retailers machine, and get orders directly posted through their web site, (still figuring that one out, but am going to use xml)

3. Teaching some kids a beginners vb course. Got some code for a Yahtzee style game, added some extras, animated gifs, wavs etc, although the orginal code was way cool not mine.

Well U name It :

Programs That Interacts with Custom Made Electronics Devices Plugged in the computer ...
Programs Tha Run Over Networks ... like Station Lock Unlock Etc...
Trojan Horse Hhehehehehehehehhe
( But None Released i made then just for fun And tried them on some Friends ... They knew )
Businees Oriented Programs
DatasBases ...
UML (Research)
Some Intresting VB AddONs i ll Publish One Soon
MyAutomatedRoomProject
Encryption/Dec. Algorythms
etc...

I am Working on a 3D Moddel right now but not too Seriously ... i ll see what i can Get out of It ....


This Is Almost All I think ...

Jethro, here is a fun little slot machine source you can use to teach about arrays. Got it off the net somewhere.

Private Sub cmdPlay_Click()
Dim temp(3) As Integer
Dim counter As Integer
Dim index As Integer



Randomize
For counter = 1 To 3
temp(counter) = Int(Rnd * 4) + 1
Slot(counter).Picture = imgSlot(temp(counter))
Next counter
'For index = 1 To 2
Form1.Refresh
'Next index
If temp(1) = temp(2) And temp(2) = temp(3) Then
lblWinnings.Caption = lblWinnings.Caption + 4
Else
lblWinnings.Caption = lblWinnings.Caption - 1
End If
End Sub

I'm a web developer involve in setting up dot com. I've involved in the site structure and coding as well. We are using ASP, SQL Server and MTS. I've personally done the forum engine and voting poll and membership components. All components are done in VB. Now i'm looking on Java. Wondering how much is java going to help in doing web development.

Well I'm a computing student, with a couple years basic VB experience from my A-Levels. I'm currently trying to learn VC++ from books, which is taking a while. Other than that I'm supposed to be helping Fox with his RPG, but he's so much better at it than me I've kinda ended up just sitting on the sidelines watching :).

I also need to know how I should go about using a chart in VB, for another project. There seems to be several ways of doing it.

I am working on a program that will generate a set of instructions for running a machine in a factory. This program walks someone through a process using a "wizard" interface for describing everything they do while running their machine. When they click finish, The program will generate a word document.
It also saves a "tagged" version the document that can be loaded and allow them to go back and make changes if needed. I used the flexgrid control for most of the program.

:)

I work at Eurocontrol (www.Eurocontrol.int) in ATFM project (Air Traffic Flow management) for a software application in VB
using DAO, ADO, and API
Of course I'm looking for help
BECAUSE IT DOESN T WORK
:mad:

well tired...

Update...

I'm now working for the award winning Graphico New Media
