Geoff, thanks for taking the time out to have a go and provide some feedback.
Yep, its pretty much a folder browser, but don't forget the potential power of those search buttons for images and manuals!
On my hitlist so far then is:
* Add new manual and delete source file after sucessful transfer (Some limited logic to try to determine what you are adding and provide you with choices) <IN PROGRESS>
* Addition of ID number against the equipment model - to enable you to link with other databases (Saves ID_xxxxxx.txt in the folder)
* Addition of Revision number against the service manual (for later exporting)
* (ISO QMS): Option to automatically archive your old service manual if you add a new version (ISO QMS), adding in the revision/date of the manual
* Automatic generation of a summary Excel document with hyperlinks to your manuals, revision number, equipment type, model, Equiment Model ID
* Option to set equipment models as *DONT DISPLAY* so you can have large archives of manuals but only show the ones you have in your areas.
* Maybe, search for company address by equipment type/model
* (ISO QMS): Email to company stating current version of service manual and equipment type/model to see if this is the latest revision smile
* Add Tab between panels (and right cursor)
* Supply Default folder structures to get started (might also encourage some domination standard!)
* Consider Adding Company Field between Equipment Type and Equipment Model (I was previously debating using the ID number of the equipment, relating to the specific model to look up the company name from a separate list?) take the 572 volumetric pump for example, IVAC, Alaris, Carefusion bit of a nightmare if someone started adding new manuals because they didn't know. ID Number = 7 (572), Separate list ID 7 = Company 10 (Carefusion). Possibly could do it both ways and make it an option, I'll add this when I've struck some of the earlier ones out of the way.
