Simple Database revisited

[cafeenman]

I have made some modifications to the code I posted last night. I got some real good feedback from Martin Liss and Bruce Fox whom I want to thank.

I just used the app to create two completely new apps in under 30 minutes. In that time I also added code to read quotes from an Access database into a data file. The Access database was almost 0.5 MB. The quote file is 143 KB. Major size difference.

Anyway, I would really appreciate feedback from someone who uses it.

I am uploading three versions of it. In this post is the master from which you can make whatever you want.

The next post will have the Quote Creator utility. It is used for the developer to create a Quote of the Day data file and has the database functionality.

My third post will be the applet which is stripped of all editing functionality as it would be included in another app. In other words, the user can scroll through the quotes, but they can't edit them.

Instructions are in the ReadMe file in the zip file attached to this post.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.... I need feedback from you as to what problems you had implementing this. Somebody try to make an address book or something and let me know what problems you run into. You should be able to take this app and have a fully functional address book in less than an hour. It's really that simple.

NOTE: DO NOT unzip files from these three zips into the same folder. Many files have the same name, but have been modified so overwriting files will be bad.
