Term 2 Week 6

During this week of coding i have moved both forwards and backwards. I have successfully coding the subroutine to save the quote to file, a massive step forward in my project. However i found an issue with the product and client codes not being able to rewrite themselves as client name and product name. This caused a reconsideration of how my forms will work and the creation of a view quote and view invoice forms are currently being created. Therefore the quote form will now load the quote code, the date and the clients given name and surname. Then a view entire quote/invoice button can be clicked in which the details including whether the quote/invoice is hire or sale will load and the products also shall load into a listbox. 

This decision was made on the bases of improving ergonomic design and effective use of listbox not being enormously big with a scroll bar. 

During this week i have gained a greater knowledge of coding techniques including string processing, concatenating strings as well as the instring function. I have also further gained knowledge of good ergonomic design, carrying data across forms and appropriate use of listboxes and other tools.
