Dear Friends,
This is my first posting and I am very happy to be here!
I am a new user of Alpha Five Version 8 and I am reading a book (Alpha Five Made Easy � By Susan Hussey Bush) everyday to learn how to use it. Once I complete it, I will start with �XBasic for Everyone� � by Dr. Wayne. I am also reading a book about database design (Beginning Database Design � From Novice to Professional � by Clare Churcher).
As I am still learning the basics, can anyone of you direct me how they would plan a solution to the following problem:
My objective is to help the user with decision support through message boxes.
- User to input POD and POA in a form
After that, checks will be carried out to see whether is it acceptable to operate between the 2 points based on the rules set below (see table). The user will be prompted (if applicable) through a msg box.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
POD POA Check Message Box
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Intl Intl Allowed Not Aplicable
Intl Dom Not Allowed Display Error Message
Dom Dom Allowed Not Applicable
Dom Intl Allowed Display Warning Message
Acronyms Used
POD = Port Of Departure
POA = Port Of Arrival
Intl = International
Dom = Domestic
Would that be feasible? If so, which technique or topic would I have to learn in order to solve this problem?
Thanks for your help.
