Pc72:

I apologize for calling you Pc57! How could I be so inconsiderate? Well I got your first name, Pc, right, but I misspelled your last name, 72, by using 57. I did it by memory, and, I forgot that I can't trust my memory any more. (Laughing ouy loud, yea, real loud!)

But, if you read my post, I reported seven QBers had reported. But, we have Dav reporting after, so, please correct your running total and up it to eight! Maybe, with luck, we can make it ten in a few, more days?

Don't worry, Ralph. It's just a touch of dyslexia- an upside-down two, and the last name reversed. Nothing to worry about.

You've made my day! Now, I can go back to coding in QuickBASIC for a pricing program without a worry in the world! (Ha, ha, or LIS)

Amigo, I'm curious. What do you mean by a pricing program? Is it anything like costing something based on a Bill of Material? Or perhaps pricing multiple items in inventory where their costs are kept as FIFO?

Moneo:

I'm just helping out another person. This is my first go at actually working with a data base in QuickBASIC, so I had to learn how to pull in the data and select each data in record type of formatting. Then, I have to develope the different material, labor, etc. totals, and print the whole thing, data used and results, on the screen, and allo printout on one sheet. It's more of a learning thing, for me, 'cause I seem to do only one type of program, so, I never become an expert in any. It is a challenge and a fun thing to do.

Yes, I'm sure that there are hundreds of programs already out there, many free or shareware or low cost, that could do the trick. But, I have never found one that I could live with, without wanting to change things, so, I like to do my own, when I have the opportunity.

I know, I'm stubborn! That's 'cause my ancesters, back in the 1600's, came from Burgos, a northern Spain city, noted for its very "independent thinking" inhabitants!

I'm a whore. I'll use anything that's fun. :lol:

[Moneo]

I still use QB.

Hey, Dav, where've you been? We've missed you.

Best regards..... Moneo

Ralph, that's interesting.

What do you mean by "working with a database in QuickBasic"? The only thing similar to a database package that can be used with QB is Btrieve.

From your description, seems like your accessing all the elements from something like a Bill of Material to develop the cost for an item. Sounds like a lot of fun. Tell me more.

You will not find individual programs out there to do what you want, only big packages that want to automate your entire company, like ERP's.

Regarding Burgos, I've been there. Just a few miles up the road is the tiny village of Moneo, the original name of which was Alforados de Moneo, which in feudal days belonged to Vizcaya in the Basque country. My father, Jesus Moneo, was Basque, and we went there to take a look see. But, not sure if his ancestors came from there or not.

QB 7.1 Professional Development System includes numerous tools for working with databases.
Ralph:
Is it(the program) for, say, a low-end terminal, or a computer in someone's office?

[Ralph]

Moneo:

I think we got a little bit off the subject of this thread, so, I have started a new one, in this same forum (I guess I should have opened it in Programming Help, or, mabe, in Projects). I titled the subject, "Using data bases in QuickBASIC".

Skyler:

Low end-terminal? What is that? The program will be, as all of mine are, for use on a normal computer, where one loads the data base by calling it from within the program, extracts the data, then the program goes on to do its thing. Please see, in this forum, my new thread, "Using data bases in QuickBASIC"
