Well, after mastering perl and php, I'm now writing database client in Visual C++. Till now I've been using version 6 of the MS visual studio. Now the libraries I'm using to write the program with need VS2005. Last week I managed to connect to the database, and get some simple data back. Now this week I've managed to fully code one dialog box out of about 10 that are going to be needed, which does almost everything that is required of it.
Quite an accomplishment, and it means that the progress of the project that this might impact is not affected. It also gets the looged on user name and restrics access dependig on your name. Now the rest of the dialog boxes should be fairly easy, all I'll need to do is to make it create a fancy looking multi-page report output.
