- The print out is not easy to read, the layout is all wrong and the user will not understand it.
- On my print out there were no spaces between words or number for example I want the name to be all on one line but with the code I am using right now the name will look like this:
CarlosMontoya.
The date will look like this:
50012004
I want to create spaces between the lines and I want to insert things like,
Name, course code, room number, start time etc next to a just above the appropriate information.
I also want the user to be able to see the number of computer and the software available in the room he or she is booking. To achieve this I must create an if statement if…..then…..end if
Printer.print; vbcrlf is use as one line space on text file.
+ “ “ + is use as a space between words or number.
I also declare where I want to use bold words using false or true.
A message box before printing, the message box will remind the user to save or the information will not be process.

- I want the user to be able to see the date.
- I did this a through a label as I already have a timer I just add a line of code to the timer and that will show the label with the time on the interface.
The piece of code I am going to use is:
LBLDATE1.Caption = Format$(Date, "d - mm - yyyy")
- I wan the user to be able to see the time.
- I will do the same I did with the date but format it as a the time
The piece of code I am going to use is:
lbltime.Caption = Format$(Time, "HH:MM")
- The information the user is entering into the system is not appearing on the bookinfo list box.
- To solve this problem I used a code to add item on the list box call bookinfo, this code will be place on all the command button the user is more likely to use.
The code is the following:
BOOKINFO.Clear
BOOKINFO.AddItem "NAME: " + TextNAME.Text + " " + TextSURNAME
BOOKINFO.AddItem "COURSE CODE: " + coursecode.Text
BOOKINFO.AddItem "ROOM NUMBER: " + roomnumber.Text
BOOKINFO.AddItem "DATE: " + comboday.Text + " " + combomonth + " " + comboyear
BOOKINFO.AddItem "FROM: " + Combohour.Text
BOOKINFO.AddItem "TO: " + Combohours.Text
BOOKINFO.AddItem "NUMBER OF COMPUTER AND SOFTWARE AVAILABLE: "
- There is not message box that ask the user if the information they enter is correct.
- All I have to do to achieve this is a message box with ok and a cancel button, this code will be place on the print command and the save command.
The code I am going to use is the following:
If MsgBox("IS THIS INFORMATION CORRECT?" + vbCrLf + _
"NAME: " + TextNAME.Text + " " + TextSURNAME.Text _
+ vbCrLf + " COURSE CODE: " + coursecode.Text _
+ vbCrLf + " ROOM NUMBER: " + roomnumber.Text _
+ vbCrLf + "DATE: " + comboday.Text + " " + combomonth + " " + comboyear.Text _
+ vbCrLf + "FROM: " + Combohour _
+ vbCrLf + "TO: " + Combohours, vbOKCancel, _
"Save Record") = vbOK Then
Dim filenumber As Integer
filenumber = 1
Open "C:\BOOKING INFORMATION.TXT" For Append As #1
Print #1, vbCrLf

Print #1, Date
Call Shell("NOTEPAD.EXE C:\BOOKING INFORMATION.TXT")

- I do not think I need the information command button to find out what rooms are available with a course code.
- The way to remove the information command button without altering the process of the program will be by creating four if ….then…elseif…..end if statements as a click event, that way when the user selects a course code that will automatically show all the rooms number available .
The code to do this is the following:
Private Sub coursecode_Click()
If coursecode.Text = "HCCISX0A" Then HCCISX04
rooms1.Clear
rooms1.AddItem "T100"
Rooms1.AddItem "T229"
rooms1.AddItem "T201"
rooms1.AddItem "T232"
ElseIf coursecode.Text = "ZHMMMX1A" Then
rooms1.Clear
rooms1.AddItem "T100
rooms1.AddItem "T229"
rooms1.AddItem "T201"
rooms1.AddItem "T232"
ElseIf coursecode.Text = "HCCISE1A" Then
rooms1.Clear '
rooms1.AddItem "T217"
rooms1.AddItem "T212"
rooms1.AddItem "T211"
rooms1.AddItem "T221"
rooms1.AddItem "T100"
rooms1.AddItem "T229"
rooms1.AddItem "T201"
rooms1.AddItem "T232"
ElseIf coursecode.Text = "HCCISE2A" Then
rooms1.Clear
rooms1.AddItem "T227"
rooms1.AddItem "T223"
rooms1.AddItem "T152”
End IF
End Sub
- I found a problem if the user wants to make a new booking.
If the same user or a new user wants to make a new booking there is a problem the code for a new booking is:
Private Sub cmdreset_Click
Coursecode.text = “select course code”
Roomnumber.text = “”
textNAME.text = “”
textSURNAME.text = “”
comboday.text = “DAY”
combomonth.text = “MONTH”
comboyear.text = “YEAR”
combohour.text = “”
combohours.text = “”
BOOKINFO.clear
Rooms1.clear
Des1.clear
Coursecode.SetFocus
End Sub
After the user has clicked the new booking command all the message boxes that tell the user that there is some information missing stop working.
It looks like the program is looking for some kind of character on the text boxes and combo boxes.
The way that I stop this from happening is by reviewing the code to check all the information has been enter, the old codes is:
If roomnumber.Text = "" Then
MsgBox ("PLEASE ENTER A ROOM NUMBER"), (vbCritical)
End If
The new code that I am going to use on this project is:
If len(roomnumber.Text )= 0 Then
MsgBox ("PLEASE ENTER A ROOM NUMBER"), (vbCritical)
Exit sub
End If
This code means that if the characters on the room number text box is equal to zero then show a message box asking the user to select a room number.
Including the Exit Sub just before the End If, as I explained before this will stop the message boxes appearing one after the other.
- There should be a drop down menu on the form.
looking at my gesign I see that I drop down menu would make look nicer but at the same time it would help the user if he wants to use any of those commands.
The best way I found to do this by going to the toolbar menu on the visual basic program and find Menu Edito in there you write the mane and the caption you want to see the user to see.
It is very important to give meanfully names to this commands and the same thing with the all the other control on our application.
The code for the drop down menu call File is the fowilling:
Private Sub MDLOAD_Click()
BOOKING_SYSTEM!cmdload = True
End Sub
Private Sub MDPRINT_Click()
BOOKING_SYSTEM!cmdprint = True
End Sub
Private Sub MDRESET_Click()
BOOKING_SYSTEM!cmdreset = True
End Sub
Private Sub MDSAVE_Click()
BOOKING_SYSTEM!cmdsave = True
End Sub
And the codes from the drop down menu call About is the following:
Private Sub MDRESET_Click()
BOOKING_SYSTEM!cmdreset = True
End Sub
Private Sub MDSAVE_Click()
BOOKING_SYSTEM!cmdsave = True
End Sub

ASSUMPTIONS
- The college opens its doors at 8 o’clock in the morning, so booking start at the same time as well, the last booking has to be made before 18:30, the college closes its door at 21:00 o’clock.
- All booking must be done a least a day before the actual date the room is needed.
- All rooms must be booked for more a minimum of 15 minutes.
EVALUATION
Doing this project has been very hard because I did not have any knowledge of visual basic but reading some very good books gave me a big help.
Overall I think my design cover pretty much all the angles in the validation, I assumed I was the user and looked a every single possibilities that came to my mind, like what happens if I don’t select the course code but instead write my name on that combo box, what will the program do?.
If the program continues then I have to write a validation where the program is expecting the information that is already store in the system and that exactly what I did.
One of the most difficult things I found doing this project was working out the validation for the date, so that the user could booked rooms a date that has already passed.
One thing that I would do different is start documenting every single change I made to the program from the moment I started it, it was very difficult recalling everything I did from the start.
I have check my codes and design several times and the only thing I could enhance on the future is that if the user has already entered all the information but suddenly change any information like the date time etc, then I would show a message box asking the user if he/she wants to save the information that was there before he made the change.
Apart from this, I really enjoy myself doing this assignment.
