You can get in trouble with SourceForge if you don't post any code for a project that has an exe.

I wrote a similar app in access, the night before competition, but this looks very good. If you would have released this before the Milwaukee regional I would have tried it.

Would you be interested in integrating this into FusionEdit? If you don't know what FusionEdit is you can find info here.

The only problem I had with this program is that when I tried to open the file it gave me an error saying invalid file. Besides that I can't see anything wrong with it.

And I was wondering, what language did you use for this?

I got the same error. I should have tested it more before I posted before.

According to the SF page it is VB(I assume 6)and VB.net.

It will give you that error if you select a file that is already open. It opens a file automatically on startup. And yes it's written in VB, i used visual studio express.

And about the source forge policies, I've been TRYING to contact anyone who can tell me what is acceptable for the code. But to no avail, so at this point if i get in trouble I'll switch back to the other download site.

What wouldn't be acceptable for the code?

Well i didn't know if i could just upload the VB express file, or if i had to submit the code in a text form. And thank you, this is actually the first program I've ever made (besides the "hello world" application, lol). And can you please give me a little more info about the problem. Does it occur when you use functions>openfile, or does it happen when the program starts.

FYI don't use the sourcecode on the SF project page, it's an old version. The new one will be released as soon as i can get it from the other developer.

if you are uploading it to CVS you can upload anything. just make sure to upload the entire directory for that project.

I only got the error from the menu.

If you need any help getting setup with SF PM/e-mail me.

[Cha]

same here, I only get it from the menu. Maybe you should change the warning to say something like, "file already open" or something less...
error-ish

Were working on that, It probably wouldn't be a good feeling if your at Nat's and get that error lol.

Well today was the first day of SPBLI, and the program is working flawlessly. So I am proud to announce that it is finally battle tested. I would also like to say that we have 98 downloads on sourceforge! I guess none of them liked the program enough to post tho =/

Well championships are over now, and although my team was not in the position to choose teams for our alliance, the scouting program proved to be an extremely useful tool. We used the program constantly during the day without any crashes. I don't know whether we will choose to make another program for next year. but if we do I will definitely make it accessible to all FIRST teams.

If you just fixed this one problem this would be a nice program to use.

And really VB? I was thinking maybe C or some version of it. Thats really impressive for VB.
