Hi, I would like to make an application in VB6.0. Right now, for all of my open cases (I do cell phone repair and people send me broken phones to fix), I use pen and paper. I have a forum I fill out manually. Whenever I get a customer who needs my services I fill the forum out to help keep my attention focused, so I can see exactly what I need to do to get the job done. I am horrible with book keeping however, I often loose or misplace my pages. (I also have ADHD which helps contribute to my dis-organization) I was thinking if I had this on my computer it may keep me a little more organized. I have used VB6 for small projects in the past and I am sure this could help me here also.

Basically my ideal program would look like this:

“new case”- I could press the new case button, and enter the info just as I would enter it on a new sheet of paper.
“open cases”- this would show all open cases, once a case is complete it would not show up here. The program would know if a case is closed by the “case closed” checkbox being selected from the main template.

I designed the “new case” template; this is what it looks like:


After I fill in the details, I would press the “save” button. Because the checkbox at the bottom is NOT checked, that would mean the case is still open. I can do this with all of my cases I have. Once I complete a case, I would check off the bottom “case complete” box.

Once a case is closed, I would like them to disappear from this list, so if I completed 1 case, it would only show the remaining 4 cases open on the main screen. I would however like to be able to view closed cases if I ever needed to, but don’t want to see them every day when I check my open cases.

I understand this may take some time to complete, if anyone could refer me to info that could help me design this, it would be greatly appreciated. Also, if someone would like to help me themselves, I would be willing to pay them for the help they provide. If anyone needed a Verizon cell phone accessories or something, I would even be willing to give them accessories or parts in exchange for help. My credentials can be found on eBay, my user name is mds33200 and I have a feedback score of something around 1,700.
