I've managed to learn a good deal about Revolution since I first started. I purchased Dan Shafer's book "Software At The Speed of Thought." An excellent book by the way! I've also gone over all the videos and referencing material, but it's a little hard wrapping my head around everything. There's very many commands and functions I'll never use, so it makes it difficult finding what I need and exactly how to use it once found. That's always been my problem though. I figure it'll get easier as I go. This is my current issue. I'm currently in school trying to obtain a criminal justice degree. I've worked part time for school credit with a local investigations agency. I did a few skip traces for him, and noticed his frustration with a current program he was using. It was a very simple looking program to store his clients and case data. I told him I could possibly make him a much better one that wouldn't crash. We talked and he gave me some ideas he'd like in the program. He said he'd like to be able to store data internally into the program (opposed to plain txt files that can be accessed by anyone). He wants the program password protected, with the ability to import pictures into the program that are appropriate to that case file. In other words possibly being able to enter an individuals information and include that subjects picture on the left side of the report (I'm sure you've seen programs like this in movies). He also said he wants to be able to import voice recordings as well. He even said he wanted the scanning picture effect while searching through suspects in his database. It all seems like pretty simple stuff to pull off. I'm sure Revolution could tackle this. I'm just still trying to get over this learning curve. What would be the best way of saving the data into the program, client info, pictures, audio? I thought about custom properties, but I haven't quite mastered those yet. How about the scanning picture effect while scanning through records, how in the world would I accomplish this (why on earth he asked for this I'll never know...)? Also any ideas of inspiration would be greatly appreciated. If this works out he agreed to give me a letter of recommendation and help me establish my professional contacts. In other words it could very well change my life. Getting my foot in the door now will insure it's open. PS: I've often contemplated where to obtain quality graphics for my programs. I'm looking for background images, icons, textures, animated menus, etc (the whole 9 yards). Does anyone have any recommendations on where to get customized graphics? Thanks again, Regards Joshua
