Songbooks

Since 4.08 has the Songs.mdb file I wrote a little Access Sign-Up program. I copy down the songs.mdb and use it to allow singers to search the data bas and sign up for a song. This is networked back to my hoster PC where I run a second part of the program that allow me to see who signed up, Bookid, artist, title, manufacturer, and hometown of the singer. Since I can't tie in directly to hoster I just type the Bookid, singer and hometown into hoster, then click a check box on the record so I know I've already enterred it. I also have an update button that removes all the checked singers and adds any new singers to the screen. It's installed as a runtime on the signup PC so it takes very little memory on the Hoster pc.

I got tired of trying to read slips with illegible handwriting on them, and this although not perfect is much better than slips. Next step is to network 3 or 4 sign up PCs around the bar. I'm looking at using thing clients for this. I'll fine tune more once the season starts on the outer banks of NC and my singers list starts hitting 25 to 30 singers again.
