Hi Phillip,

                I've attached my solution. It's not the most elegant code, but it gets the job done.

I do sort of ponder the wisdom of it now in terms of making the kids use arrays (one of the key skills they need to demonstrate), when it could all be handled via the list boxes, but I can't think of another way to show them how to display the items from the array in a logical manner.

The code itself is long, but most of it is copied and pasted from the first button and then I just did a find/replace on it. There's definitely much more elegant ways to do this, I've seen examples online of people dragging the elements over the screen (as would have to happen on an iPad etc) and from what I've looked at it's not too hard, but then it totally negates the use of arrays. http://vbcity.com/forums/t/39397.aspx

I think 90% of my code could be removed by using control arrays, but I'm not great at them - but thinking as I type this, they could be the answer - anyone out there any good with them?

Cheers

Damien

Hi Damien, I also  modified  one of Adrian's past SACs, the martial art program.

I notice in the DAGs SAC, you are giving your students 10 sessions with the requirement to be able to move from one session to another. Have you developed a solution of your own?

In my martial arts sac, because of the prototype requirements I said students only needed to enter two sessions from file and be able to move from one to another. When I developed the solution,  the code is quite long just covering moving between two sessions. My students are using 3 fields ( ID, Firstname, Surname).

Monday - Tuesday

Tuesday - Monday

Preventing Monday - Monday

Preventing Tuesday - Tuesday

I used  Radio buttons to select the days for movement.

In the DAGs SAC, how did you efficiently code the options to move between 10 sessions within the time allowed for the SAC?

Hi all,

    I've updated my outcome 2 (very heavily borrowed from Adrian's past outcomes - thank you Adrian). Please feel free to use it, or preferably go over it and let me know if there are any areas that need to be improved before I give it out later this week, and (almost) more importantly, before I send it up for audit.

Thanks

Damien
