I am a Subscriber to Digit – Its a monthly IT magazine, I recently made an Archive which lets users search for Softwares in past months CDs/DVDs.I’ve used Microsoft Visual Basic 6 for designing the front end and connected it with Microsoft Access.
The Application contains two files :
- My Digit Archive.exe
- Archive.mbd
- Allows user to search the database according to Name, Month & Category.
- Displays the Details of the selected Software as : Month, Category & Year in which it was published.
- Source of my Database was monthly Contents uploaded on the Forum. So, Keeping the source in mind I couldn’t implement the Type & Size of software.
Tech Specs
Update
Again, with regards to the source I couldn’t implement any automatic updation but have provided a manual interface through which the user can update the Database each Month. User doesn’t need to enter details one by one instead he can copy and paste many softwares in one go and they are separated and saved alongwith the specified details.
Or
I can Update my Database and offer it as a download from the Internet for other users.
Known Bugs
Presently Two in The Manual Updation section, Archive works flawlessly :
- Insert New Data: During Manual updation, The name cannot have a ‘ (apostrophe). If it is supplied, The Program crashes and exits. I guess its related to the ‘String’ during SQL insertion messing up.
- Insert New Data : The Software names are separated using a NextLine. So, it is important to leave an extra Line after the last software name.I really hope that this can be of immense help to all Digit Readers till Digit comes up with a new version of Digit Archive
Update : March 2009 - Download
