Very Basic Accounts keeping program

[Dilip Patel]

Attached please find a set of programs which I wrote for my wife's home business. The project is nowhwhwre complete. Also note that because the time constraint in the developement of the programs, in some places I hard coded certain code which is not correct. I am providing the set of programs to the forum in order that some novice programmers can learn from it. Also it after 7 years of laid off rest that I am now starting to program therefore please be forgiving. I now realise that with HMG, CLIPPER is living and alive. Thanks to all that are keeping the xBASE alive. Please note that I am open to suggetions on this program and will be willing to change the program as an when it is reuired.
Regards,
Dilip

This is my first impression:

I think it is a great project. I like the fantastic idea of an index in the right side of the grid to select the first letter. It is very creative.

My suggestions:

1. Even though the customer account is sorted in alphabetical in transaction entry, if we add 'sort' clause, then incremental search is possible.

I will do more tonight.

While browsing the masters, I had seen Gulab jamoon which is my favorite! What a sweet!

Hi Rathi,
Most of the programs are an adaption from HMG. The "Index idea on the right side of the grid" is a program from the HMG samples directory. When I found the program, I modied the program slightly changing it to a more english environment. This is where i started to learn more about HMG. Also Sudeep's EXPENSE program was my key to start with HMG and I am loving it.

Hi Dilip

Impressive ; please continue to develop.

A few suggestions from first impression :

- "Maximized" isn't good vision for main window. IMHO left a little border may be better.
- "Inspired" may be better expression than "Modified" (from program developed by ...)
- Name of our friend is "Sudip", not "Sudeep"
- My suggestion for menu

Code: Select all

File                    Reports              Service                 Help
  Update Daily           Date Selected          Backup                  About
    Transactions         .                      Dates Reset             Help Topics
  Maintain               .                      Reindex
    Accounts             .
