I was playing with VB4 the last couple of weeks on another application, but
figured this would be a snap to do.
It was pretty easy.
I made a form to open a .cbr log into a listbox, the op enters the new sent
grid square in a textbox, highlights the appropriate log lines in the
listbox and then presses RUN. The new grid square replaces the old.
I just need to pretty it up a bit.
The problem with distributing it is that it requires that the person using
it have/put three (I think) files in their windows\system folder: common
dialog box ocx/oca files and a vb40032.dll -- I can put it on my webpage and
it can be downloaded there.
Give me a few hours and it may be up and ready for downloading before
midnight.
