Still alive
I haven't forgotten about this!
Was out all weekend and working during the week. After fighting with SharpDevelop because it allowed me to do something it shouldn't have, I emerged victorious and resumed on DevTracker development that evening, but haven't touched it since.
Feeling relaxed today, might slog through some more. Also, have another request from Veronica. At the end of every month she tries to input everything into an excel spreadsheet, but the bulk of it is current data I can pull directly from her database, so I'm going to be extracting that data and shoving it into a report for her to save more time. Fortunately I have a report that does almost exactly what I want already, I just need to make it over a range of date instead of a single day and add daily totals :).
Continued...
This was a small post, so instead of starting a new one, thought I would just continue here. Update for Veronica's software completed. Worked precisely as planned. Leveraged the other similar report and was up and running in no time. Fit in a few smaller changes she hadn't asked for, but from watching her work I knew she would appreciate (and she did). Grand total was probably about 6 small changes, none requiring any rework to the database. Think the project is actually fairly mature even though it will only ever run on one machine.
Anyway, Veronica is done work now, so no more development tonight.
Cheers,
Alex.
