Hi,
I need serious help and i've searched the internet more in the past few days than ever before and I have got nothing, so I thought where else best to turn.
I have a database for my ICT coursework based on booking swimming lessons. I have 4 tables (tblChildren, tblBooking, tblTeacher, tblLesson) My booking table is full of lookups, I think my problem lies here, but i'm not sure how to work around it. The lookups are the child, their teacher and the lesson they're booked into(pictured here).
I have a booking form, that (should) link to this. When I first made the form it was a manual entry form (had to memorise all the information and enter it on the form to match) and it would enter it and save it in the table. To get around the manual entry i used a lookup where childID is and then changed the control sources of all the fields to pick up the information.
Now, as I changed that to a lookup, it is now finding information and not using it to enter information into the table and therefore not creating a bookingID and not allowing me to save it by creating a record in the table.

Copy of the database here.
If anyone can help i'd appreciate this so much as my final coursework deadline is wednesday. Cheers.
[Thought it's worth mentioning that all information is test information and made up]
Erm... this isn't a "help me with my homework" forum. It's not even an Office forum, much less an Access forum. It's a Win8 forum...

Hello People,
I just started as a freelance developer for Educational projects. Don't misunderstand me, not a developer for programming software, but develop 'real' lessons, activity's etc to do with the youth.
One of these is going to be a journey in a city, accompanied by a PDA/GPS combination, were the kids have to answer questions presented on their PDA, and get the direction for the next object in the city.
What I would need was a piece of software that:
x) prevents the user of doing anything else than use this piece of software (students, 10-14 years)
1) presents questions, and adds possibility to save the users answers to them for later use
2) gets GPS signals and could draw an arrow for the next target, when a question is anwered right
3) the software can be re-used, so questions / answers , accompanying pictures, and coordinates for the next object, could be altered for following projects
I can draw an detailed 'what I want to do' for people who would like to develop such program , if possible. Max time is ... 4 weeks! I don't know if it is possible, but the part 2) (GPS) could be left out, so just a PDA which asks the questions presented in a attractive setting. For this test, we can use some real GPS-equipment.
If interested, contact me at info at rielity dot nl . I know it takes some hours, since I have just started, affording a real programming office is too expensive. Ofcourse, in this world nothing is for free, so I would like a sort of quote in your reply !
Thank you,
Riël Notermans

Hey guys I hope you dont have any objections to this, if it is against any policies you have just let me know.
Ok the meat is, I am forming a very early stage start up.
I am UK based with (sadly!) no language skills so youll have to be English speaking.
I am seeking a developer to help me put together a prototype software suite.
I do not know this platform AT ALL, so youll have to know how to acces databases via vpn.( may need knowledge of the server side too) youll also have to understand the operations of the bluetooth stack with regards to sending print files.
And lastly you will need to be able to implement and debug a visual input sytem.
Its actually quite basic stuff, but I have no time to learn it as my bank wants to see a prototype ASAP.
Again I apologise if this is against your policy, but I need to get the ball rolling.
To clarify, as I am currently in patenting process I cant discuss much yet, but this can go two ways;
1: If you have the skills I need and spare time we agree on a price and timescale, I pay you for your work, then you walk away.
2: We discuss the project, you come on board with skills provided in return for a percentage of company.
This could be a great oppurtunity either way.
Thanks for listening.
I would prefer an email at [email protected]
What will it take?
I was disappointed to see no responses but oh hey!
SO? what am I doing wrong? what would it take to get some development skills in my pocket?
I would offer a go on the missus but shes not speaking to me right now for ignoring her.
Any advice pos' or negative would be cool.
Cheers guys.
If I were you I'd scan the Development forum and look at our community developers to see what they have done. Some of the more popular and highly respected are
A_C for S2U2 and S2V
Tene for PocketCM and PCM Keyboard
Thundershadow14 for PocketMelody and PictureFlow
DotFred for TaskManager and PPCPIMBackup
Vijay555 for (too much to name)
Slither2006 for SCLPC++
Grumps for iPhone App
I'm sure I missed out a lot of others with some real quality stuff. But I'm just naming off those who has produced software that I use most frequently and/or always see at the top of the Development forum cause the thread is so active. Sorry if I offended anyone by not naming them.
So check out the guys that I listed above and see if they have exhibit the skills that you need require for your project. Also if you need help with the design-side we also have plenty of good GUI/skinning guys.
Appreciated.
I will go check the area you suggested, so thanks for the heads up.
At the moment I am just interested in a rough and ready usable system to show the bank, but Ill definately remember your offer if they like what they see.
Again, thanks bud. And wish me luck.
PS If I wanted to learn the coding myself, do you think it would be completely improbable to do so myself in say 4 weeks?
(I am a mechanical engineering student so not completely dense but pretty busy).
And where would be a good place to start?
Thanks in advance.
You have to find a C++ book and get comfy with that. Then you'd have to look at the Windows Mobile SDK and combine the knowledge of both. Plus its trial and error because its running on different hardware.
Its a daunting task. It took me a good year fulltime to become a decent website developer. The hard part is thinking like a "programmer". Otherwise it'll look like its an alien language
Good luck with it.
Hey Mate,
I'd love to help although I've never worked in the areas you require. I'd recommend posting a slightly more detailed job requirements criteria so you may attract the right young budding enthusiast.
If you're creating software a bank will wish to use then the security side of the VPN will need to be top notch along with the methods in which the app will access data.
Unfortunately I'm more of a GUI designer and the only databases I access are the MS POOM databases for Outlook.
Good Luck!
Can I add I'd _never_ take someone seriously who's asking to reply to a hotmail.* / gmail.* / yahoo.* etc etc, address.

Erm Ok !!! I dont know what to say to that. That is the account I use most often. I didnt claim to rep IBM! This is a personal project and Im just trying to make contacts.
Regarding an other post above, The VPN is further down the road and not needed yet. Also the software will not be USED by a bank just shown to them as a proof of concept.
At that point I would be able to go beyond an overdraft to an actual business loan and be able to contract a developer.
It is hard for me to Give much detail without an NDA as my idea is not revolutionary but the application is novel.
If I were to discuss openly I would lose the ability to patent down the line.
It is essentially A GUI that I need, and a simple underlying app which will give me the ability to enter a small description in 30 odd fields.
When each field is selected a score of -1 is applied (the field value is initially zero).
At the end of a session, ( there will be an option to open new or close a session) a score is given to each field and depending on score, one of 90 text files (3 per field) is linked to.
A print file containing these 30 text files on one page and a score from 0 to -10 for each field in a table on the other page is then produced.
The database access and VPN would come later on but in the prototype that is all thats needed.
Im sorry thats about all the exp' I can give in open. But if you feel you could help and would like to get involved I could arrange an NDA.
I am currently speaking to a couple of people but there is nothing concrete yet so if at all interested, do get in touch.
Thanks for reading (and please take me seriously whatever my Email.)
solved.
Just in case anyone was interested, I finally found help on a site called Rentacoder so if anyone else is looking for development help, try there.
Cheers.
Hi everyone,
I'm making an application, which is going to look and hopefully be very simple to make. I'm making it for the teachers at school, who recently transitioned over to electronic grading and attendance. This is more of a reference for me (because I can't get onto my email from here) but if anyone is willing to help me out (because I am extremely new to developing) that would be great.
Plans:
User/pass screen w/ remember me
attendance sheets
new assignments w/ having/not having
My first task is first making a screen that allows you to input your username and password with a remember me checkmark. After that, I plan to implement attendance.
If all goes well, I then hope to allow teachers to type in a new assignment, and then go around the classroom to check whether a student either does or doesn't have their assignment.
nice idea, i think i need that too )
Now that I think about it, I should also do a powerschool app that allows students to check their grades quickly and easily.
Still a work in progress.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, but this is my first jump into android app development-
I'm *trying* to develop a cross platform gis data entry solution for editing shapefile/ geo-database polygon (or point) attributes in the field. Network connectivity can only be relied upon before going to, or upon returning from, the field. Is there an android friendly method for using a (any) type of geo-database file? Right now, I'm planning on exporting polygons to a kml/kmz or similar, and separately export the attributes to sqlite for editing. Upon return from the field, the edited sqlite rows can be used to update the (server-side) geo-database attributes.
However, I would eventually like to be able to directly edit the geometry, but am not sure if this means having to write something from scratch to read from a local geodatabase file, or if some sort of *local* android geodatabase solution already exists.
Just trying to get an idea of the initial direction I should be taking, as I have gis programing and database experience, but haven't ever done any native android development.
Any suggestions or links to related references would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I don't have any connection to that project.
I'll check it out- thanks. I also spoke with esri, and they will be releasing some android products soon, complete with apis. Certainly not ideal or open source, but probably cheaper than developing my own. Gonna keep trying to develop a simple solution for managing and edditing attributes on my own till then.

Hello! overflowers? I'm a beginner android developer and I have developed several apps that use the "basics" of android and java (for college requirements)
Now, I need to develop a new project that consists of making a web app which stores the records of all students from my college and the students will be able to check their records and other information from the college from their android phones.
I have done a lot of stuff with Android but I haven't done anything incluiding web queries, pulling info from a website to display into the device, etc etc.
So I want some advice here and/or tutorials that focus on this.
also, I have some important questions: 1. Can I pull information from the actual website from my college? If so, do I need to recieve some sort of permissions?
2. In case of not being able to pull information from the actual website from my college (for any reason whatsoever, like them not giving me permissions to do this), I could create a website that imitates its behavior, I would appreciate some tutorial or guide which could help me to achieve this.
Your help is very appreciated.
Btw, excuse if I'm breaking a rule here but something is not making sense to me.. the forum title says Q&A but when I mark this as a question it says this is not Q&A. I am aware this might be moved somewhere else but I dont know where.

I would look into hosting an sqlite3 database on a server, and access it to retrieve the data from within your app.
But the problem is, by default you cannot access an online database on Android, so you'll need to add some kind of RESTful interface, the easiest way probably being a php script which will retrieve the data from the database and return it into a JSON object for example, that you can then pull from within your app.
You'll need to expose some kind of syntax from your php script so that your app can request the data for a specific user (ie row X / column Y).
There's probably a better approach, but this is what comes to my mind.
