    Question

    I have this weird problem: I've made a program that counts how many votes persons did to some topic (poll program). But I really give up in the part that I have to assign only one vote for each person until the program is reconfigured.

    SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!!

    Thanks

    Lightbulb Just an idea...

    What about registering all of your voters, in other words get list of all the people who are going to vote. Store this list in a database table. When they vote, your program you can make them login or specify their name. When they do this you can check this name in the table and verify it. After they complete their vote the program could go in and delete their name from the table or mark another field that indicates they have voted. Also, if you don't want to use names then you could assign user IDs or something else that is non-descript.

    Again this is only an idea. You didn't give too many details about your program. Is it an Internet app? If not is it run from one computer, or from a server, or distributed? There are many possible solutions based on what the exact details are. If you need more help you'll have to elaborate some more.

    I hope what I gave above is what you were looking for though.

    Wink Sorry......

    Sorry guys, I've not been so specific because I was not really thinkin' that will need. My program will be an Internet program, to be used in a Web Page. I'ts an User Control, and the data will be recorded in an .Ini file in the same directory of the program.And about the Idea of the database, forget it.I want to make evry person vote just one time, but I even know who will.

    Hope explained well. If don't, please e-mail to [email protected]
