I fish on the Alabama and Tombigbee Rivers. It would be nice to have
something to record the river gage at the time of fishing and also the moon
phase..just to see if this would really make a difference over time.

Mike,

I have used mine primarily to track my steelhead catches and don't monitor
gage height as much as I monitor the CFS the river is moving. Also, I
originally put in the moon phase just so I knew what I was catching at a
certain moon phase.
Charles, I was going to offer you the moon phase component (
http://www.hoerstemeier.com/moon.htm ) but it is just for Delphi as far as I
know, maybe he has one though for VB as well, and just didn't post it.

Take care,

Chris

If this can be used as a stand alone program, maybe I can package it with an
installer and create a button on start your program within mine. Basically,
like calling another form...

If and when I get my hands on VB.Net... we'll need to create an upgrade
version together! LOL

you could always try mySql, it's free. You could then host the db on the
Secret Weapons site and get some free market research at the same time.

Pat,

MySQL is a great idea. I use it here at work for all our our data. So if
you make it a web version it would be sweet, but to distribute it to each
individual person would be tedious to say the least, but could be done with
a nice setup script!

I am guessing you are referring to the permissions associated with it? That
is probably the biggest cluster
f*(k that gets me. Once you get it once, you can add users pretty easy. I
use MysqlGui for creating my databases and tables as well as adding new
users, etc. So once you get the initial setup done, you should be good to
go!
