MGCS 2005 - The main windows application is a compiled 32 bit program consisting of a main .exe (executable file) and a number of .dll (dynamically linked library) files. The program provides access to the screens and reports from either standard drop down style menus or a dock able task bar. "Browse" style screens show many records at a time in rows and columns like a spreadsheet. Fill In the Blank style "Form" screens are used to add or edit individual records, one at a time.
I have provided some simple, generic reports which may be all you need for many purposes. These reports are supplemented with Report and Spreadsheet Wizards. The Report wizards allow you to create simple list style reports and order the fields however you choose. You may save these reports in .PDF format for emailing to customers, staff, management, etc. In addition, Spreadsheet Wizards allow you to create reusable spreadsheet layouts and then apply queries created with the Query Wizard to create files in Microsoft Excel format (the spreadsheet wizards required Microsoft Excel). I have also provided Output All buttons that will also generate spreadsheets from the data as filtered on your browse screen.
The Query Wizard is used throughout the program to allow you to quickly create reusable query conditions and search your data easily.
