I just added Project documentation to the site under downloads.
We just added a forum to the website. Hopefully we can use this to communicate rather than the sourceforge forums. Check it out, get registered, post something... do whatever.
Version 1.3.1b was just released. It should be a bit more stable than version a. there were a few changes.
- Updated about box
- Caught mysql exception for user trying to insert a duplicate entry.
- Added ability to tab through customer data entry using the return button as per client's request.
- Handled exceptions previously left open with update, delete and search form buttons.

I added a more recent version of the program and source to the file release
system. version 0.1.3 has a mostly functional system. there are some known
bugs I haven't gotten around to, and ones I don't know about. Please download
and test the semi-functional version.
you can read the release notes for a little more info on the status of the system.
Varis Project has successfully been set up on sourceforge.net. More to come
I added 3 new screen shots of the working data grid instead of using a text box to show Database information.
I added the autocomplete feature to the customer lookup. It will fill in all of the customer data now when you key in the drivers license number. I also made a better way to view customer details rather than the old popup window from the last version. I added a few more screen shots of the additions (the first 5 shots).
I just built the GUI version of a prototype. It allows for input deletion and viewing of the data in the database. I'm using the actual customer table instead of a sample test one (I think I've had enough practice). I halfway have an inline autocomplete intact in the current version, although some of my syntax is incorrect so it's not actually implemented in this version, although the source is actually there inside the program.
Later versions will implement a better viewing of the database information other than the cheep way I have it set up right now. As It sits, I just use a popup message to list the contents of the database. I don't like it but as much nyquill as I have in me right now, I'm surpised I didn't have to debug anything
I'm putting the actual files into a self-unzipping file and putting them online so you can download it and try it out yourself. Mike, could you please download this and try to install it on your laptop, so we can have it there for the demo. I've included an installer that will setup all of the tables as I have them on my computer. I posted a tutorial on what you need to do to set up the database b4 this will be able to install the database.
I've added full fuctionality to the console UI app. the last one only had the ability to add one record then display what was in the database, then exit. I've given the app 3 functions (and an exit obvously) that will be used in our product. they are add user, delete user, and display.... now display will be more complicated in the real product because it will have functions to display different things from the database and from different tables, not a big deal really, just a few more lines of code.
anyway, just wanted yall to check it out and see what you thought. I've updated the screen shots to reflect the changes in the program, and put them into thumbnail form (easier for 56k'ers like mike to view) Just click on the thumbnail and it'll open a popup window with the full sized pic in it.
Here you go foo's, here's a command line UI putting stuff into the database. (still haven't got the GUI going yet) for this example, I created a little table called "test" and made the fields "name", "address", and "age". the command line UI prompts user for input, and then writes it into the database... now the GUI will of couse be able to do all of this with one screen, but it will use the same backend....
I've captioned each screen shot so you could kinda know what's going on. if you have any questions email me from here.
