Enterprise Events Ltd (Surrey)
Took over a DOS legacy
application for organising/scheduling meetings & seminars within

DOS mailing list system. Both
have been constantly upgraded and improved in that period,
including: move to Windows
version, addition of data-driven email (via Exchange) and fax
facilities (with WinFax Pro),
DDE connections to Word for 'boiler-plate' texts, and a large
number of reports. Currently,
the application consists of 200+ program files, 152 screens and
175 reports.
Also produced a mini-app for data import from CSV/DBF files, and
one for transferring data
from one data set to another. Application is also Y2K compliant,
using 2-digit years.
Created a Contact

opted for a commercial system.

built a ColdFusion website for them to host a meetings database
for a Microsoft
Europe
conference in Barcelona (July 99). Repeated twice in 2000, but
in Seattle and
Rome.
Almost
all their conferences are now set up using Cold Fusion websites
(up to 8 per year)
with
various modifications on the basic format. All sites
password-protected.
July 2001 – built an ASP web application,
(based on previous Cold Fusion ones) for use with Microsoft
Partners website. Used both VBScript and Jscript.

Created several data-aware web applications
(just the basic data manipulation, not the final Web pages) for
this company over a three-month period, using ColdFusion 3.1 and
ODBC. These included SQL search routines, a Verity text search
application and a basic 'shopping basket' application. Only the
Verity search is publicly available (other apps are in
password-protected sites).

quarterly paper-based output for clients. Changed to a
disk-based publication, complete with
SQL-based data search routines. Both input system and disk
system later changed to FoxPro
(disk system on both DOS and Windows). Final input system on a
5-user network.
Have since developed a crude WWW variation of the disk system,
using Visual FoxPro and
Web Connection. Never implemented at client, who has since asked
that this site be rebuilt.
