Front Office Program (Suggestions Wanted)

I actually have a project of the exact same thing, currently on hold pending an overhaul on how exactly it's supposed to be run...

I don't know the name of the original author of the rules, but I'm basing it off of one of the tnm fed rules pages I found.....

Right now, I'm basically stuck on how it's supposed to operate and how every interaction with tnm should work and how the program can work around certain tnm features (wrestlers walking out, to name one specifically)..

What I'm doing with it is making a stand alone program which doesnt interface with TNM. Basically, you have to manually enter contract changes and the like. I'm assuming from what you said, yours works in conjunction with TNM, in which case it would have to be a plugin. Am I correct? If you're interested, perhaps we could collaborate, share ideas, and create the best of both worlds. Let me know. E-mail me at king_of_extreme@yahoo.com or just post on this board if you're interested.

Mine's kinda bounced back and forth between a circuit plugin and a standalone program, but I've finally settled on a standalone program that will maintain certain TNM7 datafiles as necessary.  Hire a wrestler in the frontend manager and he'll show up as hired in TNM7.  

Right now, my main sticking point is how much will the addon maintain the TNM7 db's..  I might end up having to have the addon maintain all of the db's just for the control for some and convenience for the rest..  Assuming, of course, that I can do it bug-free so I don't keep b0rking up datafiles...  ;D

I found the rules of procedure page that I'm modelling after: http://tnmunion.hypermart.net/html/dan_chapetta.html
(With some changes/additions of my own, of course  :))

And I'm doing mine in Visual Basic 6, possibly with MS Access database support if I can't find a better solution for my databases.... :)
