Alright, hope it wont get too lengthy.
====================
Hi all!
I've got some info for you all on the progress on the next version of my utility called F4Patch Builder (F4PB).
When ready F4PB will be able to:
1. Generate a simple patch (one checkbox)
2. Generate a complex patch (several checkboxes/optionbuttons in several levels with folders)
3. Save sessions that can be loaded later so that you can continue your work or update a previusly made F4Patch-file
4. Load F4Patch-files and determine if it's a simple or complex patch
There will also be session-examples supplied and a thorough manual describing the program.
Last week I attended a course in Visual Basic (databases and COM-components). I learned some useful stuff and will try to convert the source from DAO to ADO. The support-files for ADO is larger than DAO, but the support-files (Mdac_Typ.exe) can be downloaded from MicroSoft. I have also done some improvments when building complex patches (folder- and patchdata will be stored in classes and not arrays).
It will take some weeks before all changes are made, the manual complete and the program fully tested, so please be patient.
