Hi Jonas,

Thanks for sharing your project. I know that your intentions are probably noble, but I have some reserve on the "educational" part of this. There are some major flaws IMHO in this project and I wouldn't give this as an example to a newbie for the following reasons:

  • The choice of colors. That's a classic error that many newbies do. They want to prove their competence by using many fancy stuff with the result that I can't read many captions and can't find a way of closing a form without pressing ESC
  • Procedural coding. Can't beleive that a project can be entirely build on procedural code in 2004 when VFP support OOP since VFP 3 (around 1995 if my memory is good)
  • No comments
  • All the codes in on mega folder (500+ files)
  • PRG with over 2700 lines of code
  • PUBLIC variables
  • etc.

    Again, I didn't mean to bash your project just for the fun of it, but I think that a project that is put up for educational purpose should be well constructed and well documented so that it can serve as a model.

    Take care
