As some of you know, almost 2-years ago I created an Excel spreadsheet DVC members could use to quickly calculate and plan their DVC vacations.
Unfortunately if you didn't have Microsoft Excel, you couldn't use the spreadsheet.
So, I am now in the process of creating a new planner that will work on any Windows machine. (Sorry MAC users, no can do).
The program will be a fully executable program (*.EXE file) and will have the point charts included thru 2010.
In order to format the program to best fit the majority of potential users, I could use some help in knowing what kind of equipment everyone is using.
You need to answer in at least 3 different places: Your operating system, your screen resolution, and your color settings.
If you don't know your resolution and color, you can find out by RIGHT-click on your DESKTOP, select Properties, and then select settings. If you are using something different than the choices above, then pick the closest number, or just post a reply.
Thanks for your help. I expect the program can be ready for testing in a few weeks, followed by first distribution. The initial release will have full trip PLANNING features similar to the current Excel program which is still available. (You can find it via this link....http://disboards.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=178940)
I also expect to follow up at a later date with a version that will also have full point tracking capabilities. While there are already some tracking programs out there, I feel it never hurts to have other choices. I expect to survey you again to see what kind of features you'd like to see in a tracking program.
All programs will be freeware and I will put them out for distribution for anyone who wants a copy. All rights reserved.
