What are you all doing?

well...I got loads on at the moment :D
mjoseph - wouldn't mind a copy of that chess game when you finish it please ;)

• intranet site for global account managers to add/update profiles & which customers they manage/look after.
• Conversion of an MsAccess95 database program to a 97 platform for a moulding company
  
  Coming up soon are :
  
• phase2 of that last one to add barcoding uploads/recognition to the database app.
• update of a furniture companies database app. They currently design this furniture with cad, print it out & then take the values & manually enter these into Access - I've gotta automate this somehow for access to pick up the measurements etc from the cad app.
• lastly, I wanna learn DX when I get some time, and do a kinda street fighter2 game but with the dragonballZ characters in instead

Should keep me busy for a little while ;)

I'm working on a textbox control that does syntax highlighting for html code, but it's been on hold for a while. I'm also working on a scripting language for a dos-prompt replacement program I'm making. It's not as easy as I first thought it'd be. And I got a couple smaller things I keep putting off.

I'm a student learning VB and I'm trying (for fun) to make a little program that calculates the time remaining until Christmas and that would have music playing....

The musical part is my big problem! :)

Hi, I m doing for my very first VB project in the company, without any knowledge of VB at all.. so probably the toughest beginning for me... well... this forum is definitely helps lotsa ppl .. thanks!!

I am a newbie in VB programming, but it's fun learning it.
I learnt VB 3 weeks ago.

The first one is a calculator for a trading company (doing export, import worldwide and using dual currencies)
It will calculates what the price is at your storage, at the port of delivery or at port of destination, save the info as a file for later retrieval, as well as updating feature for some basic import-export costs.

The second project (still in development stage using mdb) is developing a Financial Consultant Program which will tell you which currency should you use for payment (if you have dual currencies at your bank). As well as making money from currency trades. You can make money every seconds worldwide if you can connect to a server at your bank for doing an online transaction.

They are all private edition softwares. Because of this VB learnign process, I delay all my website project for almost 1 month now :mad:

Nice to you are all here!

Trying to make a !@#$ VB system work

I am currently trying to read the book of Java2 that I had to do last session at school... but I did not so I have to do it now :mad:

I'm currently working on a DB based system that automates the complete flow from the design department (cad), sales department (using Navision), planning department and finally in the production plant, where all the machines are controlled by the system.
And when I do have some spare time my boss likes me to do some basic Access programming.

Been writing VB for about 3 years now.

Currently trying to get around the Outlook SP1 patch so that the in-house app can still e-mail without generating dialog boxes.

sometimes the "new" feature is slower than the old code method.

i guess im an amatuer programmer, been doin this for 5 years now though

im working on a program that saves chat conversations. when i made the first version a year ago i thought it was cool but now that i've been using it and it looks like crap. so my new version will (hopefully) integrate a little bit with AIM and it will store the conversation, a title you give it, who you had it with, the date, and it also supports different types of things like storing and an important e-mail and sending e-mails. In the end you should be able to select the screen name from a combo box and the program will go get the conversation from the IM window. it will also use a listview to list the convos and have options for adding icons for the different entries under the headers. also options for searching, printing, support for multiple users and encryption, a good portion of it will be a bunch of classes compiled into a DLL

i tried making a street figher like game in DX but it failed, i didn't feel like drawing the characters either. i was able to animate a simple stance, and also made a seperate program to program in any kind of move and set the pictures frames used and the key sequence, and it sorta worked but it got to be too much

i'd actually be working on something if a goddamned company out here would even LOOk in my general direction. i hate this @%^@ing industry.

Got two major projects on the boil - ones an agent based code generation system for distributed realtime systems (been working on that for about three years), and the other is a newspaper pagination system based on learning algorithms(artificial intelligence type stuff). Actualy a fair bit of fun - I've spent the last 5 years writing large database systems, so it's a nice change.

Problem is, got it get one of them to market inside the next four weeks... the pressure is mounting :D

- gaffa

I'm been writing finance programs to Scandinavien bigest Finance companies, like leasing, downpayment,loans etc. last 17 years.
I work on my own company Finance Softline Ltd.

a newbie, on industrial training, suddenly burdened with a project

create a corporate intranet structure that will handle all the office work, including file uploading, profiles, 'n' stuff, storing speeches, texts, documents, for later referencing, blah blah.
I have tomake it in vb6 and also in asp. And they want encryption in there. That's the worst part.

LIFE SUCKS!!!!

These days i am working on Authorware to develope e-learning courses. I use VB for some inhouse development.

Currently I'm maintaining a help desk program making changes to it about...um...everyday. I can never leave one thing be. This is my first major project. I took the challenge when my boss came to me and said they hated the current help desk software. They liked the little vba projects I had created. The help desk is our life source since it we are a contracting company and the reports generated support our work, and my point is it feels great to develop something so major and see it fly.

I've been programming for about 6 years but it seems every year changes. I started in COBOL (in the DOS world) and now work in VB and an SQL server. I'm totally learning a lot, yet have 10 times that much more to learn. I've just recently figured out a problem I posted for help a few days ago.

This is what I was my job is, however, I have a personal goal to make a multi-player card game when I actually get around to it. It's hard to do with so much changing in my personal life. Gonna have a baby here in about a week. I suppose I should have gotten my project started a while back. Who knows when I'll get to it now.

It's interesting to see the diverse interests in this world. :D

I'm working on a project that will let me take over the world.

Muwhahaha

working on a search of excel wrkbk, with a user form out front. would rather be doing it in access but need to keep it thin for distribution. Having problems trying to deeal with partial search entries, looking for n1234abc but enter n1234, want to bring up all that contain the partial if someone does't know the whole part number or if they enter it wrong.

any ideas,

been trying to do it in VBA.

damn dug this one up a bit didn't we? :p

I had just turned 14 when this post was created! :eek: im driving now!

Writing an ASP ChatRoom utilizing one MTS component all backed with a SQL Server 2000 DB.

How about we keep this going? It may help alot of Admins and Info peeps alot.

Nothing. I just chat on here. I used to do vb, for my computing course, but it's not my thing. I prefer working with html.

In my professional life I am working on a backend for a reservations system in ASP (vbscript) that connects to a MS SQL 2000 database. It is basicly an online version of the Filemaker Pro stuff they were using when I got here. One screen stuff that never refreshes. :)
In my other time I just got volenteered to be the webmaster for my friend's band's website so I am doing minor updates but will probably throw it out because the origonal person was crap. :)

I am currently learning Gr 12 Calculus, History of the French Revolution, reading Schindler's List, reading Death of a Salesman, studying Gr 12 Chemistry, and contemplating writing a OCR app in VB.NET

i am taking a college class right now. Introduction to VB, wow it it boring. wouldnt be so boring if the teacher would teach USEFULL code, instead of the obscure scrap he is teaching right now. I am trying to make a program that will change my AIM away message at certain times. For example, I would have an away mesage up saying i am at work, and at 10PM, i would change to I am out doing stuff. I am stuck.

its an intro course. you learn fundamentals, not gimmicks.

i know, but its still annoying.

boring...meh. it'd be a script kiddie class if it taught you gimmicks.

I'm trying to convince myself that
I was better use VBA in Access instead of
doing all the forms I needed for the DB
within another application (ArcGIS) !
I thought that would be easy and less time consumming .... not convinced yet !

Working on a chat app I'm writing. (Now to see if the file transfer code will work without any errors.)

What have I created!?

This post has been around for over three years and it's still being actively replied to!

Anyway, now I'm working on VB.NET, SQL Server and ASP.NET to create a system to allow remote workers to view customer's sales and discounting schemes, and then allow them to edit the sales and discount schemes to see what effect that would have on their trading profit.

So, as the comments at the top of the discounting code say;

"..now to write some code that calculates a discount that doesn't exist on sales that haven't happened..."


Great fun. ;)


(Let's keep this post going!)

hm I'm working on a chat bot that manages my chat-RPG. Quite big project since it also manages all inventories and user properties. Each channel can be in another chat so it's highly customizable for each game (all games are managed by the same application).

Ah well, screenshots: http://fox.acky.net/yhoko/neobot/shots.html

The second project is my own chat system which is currently in alpha development. You can test it here: http://fox.acky.net/nchat/ (sorry, german)

Currently I am working on an online help desk using VB, ASP.net and SQL Server. There is also some classic asp involved.

I have no idea what I am doing.;)

I've been doing some stuff with PHP/MySQL for keeping track of dives I've done. Also I've started on the socket code for an IRC client (that'll be better than mIRC, heh). In between this I do occasional Java because I have to use it for Uni, and smacking myself over the head for not being fast enough doing this bloody tutorial...

I'm writing a compiler compiler compiler compiler.. ;)

I'm writing a software simulation to prove Hiesenberg's uncertainty principle but I'm not sure if it's working or not :)

Well - really I'm working of a VB.Net printer queue monitoring and reporting system and a million other such things...

I add a project. I'm also working on an auto-Ked killer, will whack him with a big knife whenever he mentions certain topics :D

I'm also planning to recompile parksie :p

I am currently working on a piece of software which will, when the correct parameters are entered, transport me to another realm where I live forever, can drink as much beer as I want and have multiple orgasms all at the same time.

So far I have got the following :

response.write("Hello World")

pretty cool huh:)
