[b]Addresser v.1.0[/b][/url]


A portable, computerised address book with lots of useful little features, this was recently separated from itsī monolithic parent MultiBase as the need came up.

***UPDATE***

1 Changed the way that I was handling string literals for menus and tooltips. In the program, we have the normal menu, the popup menu, the toolbar and then the routines that reload the menu text for all of these. I had 5:1 chance of misspelling something, somewhere. Now the text strings are kept in one location and passed by structure. Now I have a 1:1 chance of misspelling something:):)

2 Changed the email sending procedure. previously, it was run with whatever the system associated email handler was. Now it is done internally with itsī own window and I hope to have SSL in there one day.

3. Fixed the statusbar strings display. I forgot to actually enable it for a start and then there were commas where there shouldnīt be and no spaces where there should be. Looked bad/

4. The import function didnīt update the record count, fixed.

5. The import function didnīt add the īallī category so you could not show all records, fixed.

6. Fixed import duplicate import handling. First, middle, last and company have to be unique per record.

7. Added a module to allow the user to select a number of entries that they want to send to somebody, create an xml attachment file and them email right from Addresser(c) itself.

8. Updated the shortcuts, menus, popup menus and toolbars for the new email packet window shortcut.

9. After an import, the screen is reset to line 1, first record is highlighted and statusbar updated.

***NOTES***

The database and INI files from the previous version are NOT COMPATIBLE with this version because of the database structure change and the INI file additions. EXPORT your address book from your old version into an XML file, then re-import it (the XML file) into this version. Therefore, the previous version will be left up for a few months yet to give you time to follow the steps outlined here.

The actual format of the database contents havenīt changed, just the structure, necessitating this step.

Version number is incremented to 1.00 as it has been around in one form or another for years and is quite stable.

Link above is the previous version, this is the new version below.
