    Project Description:

    This project remedies the problems that arising in the area of communicating club activities and announcements with its members. Specifically, the program has four major components: member e-mail generation, member addition, member attendance, and spreadsheet generation. This program was developed using Visual Basic 6.0. (Click on the pictures provided below)

     

     

    Component one: The e-mail generation function reads a file that contains all current members of the club and lists all e-mails within the file. This feature is extremely handy.

    Component two: The member addition function adds new members to the file containing all current club members. In designing this feature, several key pieces of information are always required before the member will be added: first name, last name, and home room teacher. These pieces of information are all that are needed to insure that the member receives updates about activities. The program will not add the member unless these field's appear with the required information. Further, members cannot be added more than once. This helps prevent duplicate entries.

     

    Component three: The member attendance function lists all current members and gives the user the option to add or remove each member from an attendance list for the current meeting. When complete, this information is written to a text file using the date and the word "attendance" to name the file. This function also allows addition of members to the database for new members attending the current meeting.

     

    Component four: The spreadsheet generation function uses MS Excel to create a spreadsheet with any combination of member data. For example, a spreadsheet can be created with member names and phone numbers, or a spreadsheet can be created with member names, home rooms, and e-mails.
