Please point me in the direction i need to go. - Off-topic

Basically i need an in app "currency" that people can earn credits by viewing ads specific to one region(i can get individual adds and put them in myself) and say for example viewing the businesses ad you get 5 credits or points. With those points you can then go to businesses that accept the credits or virtual currency, as part payment for an offer etc, something small but useful, ex. A small local phone repair shop that accepts 100 credits for 30% off a phone case etc. (Bad example but forst thing that popped up). The thing is i need a way for the currency to be secure and when tou want to use an offer, you press on it and a qr vode pops up which the shop scans and deducts the points from you, meaning the vanish(not go to the business as ifs not a currency, but a coupon sort of thing), but every qr code should be user specific unique and single-use, to deduct the points from their account, and so other people couldnt screenshot your code and rob your credits. I explained it in a very complicated way but would appreciate any help. Thanks, ps i know these things exist.

Barcode reader

Hi,
is there by any chance a software that reads barcodes? Like worldcard?
For example is it possible to take a picture of a barcode from an invoice and then a program on ppc reads all information: when you gotta pay, to whom, what number of bank account, what amount etc.? And then you can export it to calendar?
Maybe it would be to beautiful to have such soft but maybe something like this exists?
Thanks
Piotr
I'm not sure the barcode on the invoice has any such info *useful to you*. Bar codes are very limited things, probably just your account number...
It would be great if people would come up with a standard for putting the info you mentioned into a QRcode, it could be very useful.
Maybe something like this:
http://www.pocketpcfreeware.mobi/download-quickmark-v3-3-barcode-reader.html
This would be interesting if it works. Would be interesting to see if it copies the information into something like Excel.
Barcodes are great for inventory and data input. For example, scanning in the serial number or mac address of devices... basically long strings which are easily mis-typed.
For the everyday person, its probably not much use.

Excel Mobile Help

Hi guys looking for a bit of advice on mobile excel on my Kaiser, I want to be able to load a price list on to it and have a face sheet on it that allows it to be searchable (similar to MS Access)
The price list has multiple products and multiple price breaks.
Ideally I would like a drop down box that selects a product group, then a further drop down box that selects a product from the selected group and then finally enter a quantity that will display a price in an output box.
Been trying to find something suitable without success, is this possible on Mobile Excel or a similar application, anyone use or seen something like it????
Thanks in advance

Barcode scanner :: Android Webbrowser

Hi,
Today when I ordered my flight tickets i got a SMS with a link to see flight-information. In the browser i also got a "barcode" (QR/DR code? Im not sure).
I have tried the Marked to find an application to scan this code directly from my Android Webbrowser, but I cant find any. (Its pretty hard to use my phone cam to scan my phone screen )
Does anyone knows how?
Forward the SMS to your email account, check your email on a PC, scan the barcode from there
Hmmm, isnt there any barcode scanner that could read from the phone-display? :-((
Dont understand why WAP pages uses this kind of content if the cellphones arent able to use it straight from the phone-webbrowser?
- Kind of irritating that you have to lunch the wap page in a PC-browser and than scan the barcode. I doesnt always have my computer with me, and the reason why im using Andorid- and/or WM-OS, is just because that I could use my phone as a substitute for my computer when I dont have it around.
Tried your solution with "Barcode Scanner", but it didnt reconize it?? Maybe I have to use another type of scanner/app?
Here is the barcode (added the red line because the barcode have personal information)
Er, I was just suggesting a workaround until you found something that worked like you specified
Your QR code looks weird anyway, they usually have boxes in 3 of the corners.
Example
Its seems like my QR Code has one box only - and thats in the middle. Isn' it a QR Code maby?
Looks like the code is a DM Code: Example

It's neither a QR code nor a DM code. I don't know the specific name of it, but the picture you provided above is a new bar code that, as far as I know, is only used for paperless boarding passes. I don't know about internationally, but here in the US, it's currently only available at a few dozen airports while the system is being tested. I've used it flying out of both Newark, NJ (EWR) and Atlanta, GA (ATL).
It's a special 2D barcode that contains encrypted information about your flight information, as well as some personal information to identify you. It is specifically designed to be secure so that only the TSA and the airlines can decode the information. Most likely, the reason you received it was not so that you could scan it to get information about your ticket, but so that the TSA could scan it at security and the airline could scan it at the gate. Ideally, you wouldn't then need to print out a paper boarding pass, all you would need is your phone! (I say ideally, because since it's a brand new program, not everybody's really familiar with it yet, and you get some funny looks from the gate agents sometimes!)

[APP] Crumbs (looking for a fellow developer!)

So I recently got very interested in Windows Phone 7 (mango) and I had been thinking about starting to create my own apps for a while. The result is the idea for an app that is as follows:
Name: Crumbs
Possible abbreviation: to send somebody a "crumb"
In short: An app that capable of: writing/creating, organising, sharing and following instructions, AKA crumbs.
What I want to achieve with this is a new option into social networking, but this time it's also very useful and not just fun to show off. What could these crumbs be? Well, I've thought of some categories already:
Routinely task:
like the stuff you do every morning, shouldn't forget, etc.
Work/study task:
some sort of study schedule, with certain points you should handle to complete the whole task.
Preparation/cooking task:
doesn't need any explanation.
Scavenger hunt/adventure:
wouldn't it be great if you can give a list of instructions to someone with some reward at the end?
Travelling:
similar to your adventure, but could contain various flight data or a couple of options (so you don't "finish" an item, but finish 1 item in a dillema.
Other: always have some other category..
User defined: if a user wants to make his/her own category.​So these are the categories, but as you've already seen, each category has different types of commands/operations one has to perform to complete the whole task. So when writing a new one, you could filter the entry-options by the ones most important for that category and give the users a seperate option to add another operation than the ones listed by default. Some possible operations and their integration ideas are as stated below:
Action: very straightforward, do something and when executing the crumb you simply check the box when done. Maybe some option with a timer that alerts you that you should be done with the operation soon (for example: cooking).
Navigate: go to a specific location and then you check the operation. Possible GPS integration/maps?
Input: give certain input to go on. For example useful when creating an adventure (go there, look for the church and read what's on it) or something else that should need a password or any other input.
Alert: to alert yourself/the executor OR (and this is important) some other user that you've arrived at a certain operation in your crumb.​
Yeah, you read it right, another user. Because one other important aspect of almost every app nowadays is SHARING. So ofcourse, there will have to be the option to share crumbs. People will be able to manage their crumbs on a phone ofcourse, but if there's a lot, wouldn't it be easy to have them stored online too? A place where you can rapidly type, organise and share your crumbs. So there should be a format to save them in (.crumb looks fantastic ). So, you simply send someone the crumb using a public link you create for your privately stored crumb. But what about something called instructors/friends? Wouldn't it be awesome if you can allow certain people to GIVE you crumbs straightaway, so you'll get alerted and know you have to do something (OK, "your mom" wouldn't be awesome, but useful nonetheless). To make things easier for this, the users will have to be able to manage these friends/instructors too and have their own cookie jar/cake box to receive their crumbs directly in (on the website and in the app). I sense some Facebook/social integration, don't you?
Then there's this weird habit of people: they've got calendars and tasks on them. Wouldn't it be great if the crumbs are linked to calendar and/or outlook-task items?
Sooo... This is my (already quite complex) idea. To conclude things once again: the outlook task system isn't capable of managing real tasks. You can give certain progress percentages, but that's just something that could be managed by this app, since it's much more in depth.
Problem is, I'm not that good at developing (yet)! So if any developer out there is willing to take this thing on with me (I just feel this could turn out great), please let me know. Meanwhile, I'll keep dreaming on and I'm a quick learner, so I hope to show a mockup of some sorts soon . I've already thought out some sort of menu structure/frame everything should be hung up in and that's what I'll be working on the time to come.
And keep in mind:
This idea is NOT for sharing by anyone but me right now. That it may be very clear that this idea is not for your own use!

Anyone good with Microsoft Access?

Hi,
I need serious help and i've searched the internet more in the past few days than ever before and I have got nothing, so I thought where else best to turn.
I have a database for my ICT coursework based on booking swimming lessons. I have 4 tables (tblChildren, tblBooking, tblTeacher, tblLesson) My booking table is full of lookups, I think my problem lies here, but i'm not sure how to work around it. The lookups are the child, their teacher and the lesson they're booked into(pictured here).
I have a booking form, that (should) link to this. When I first made the form it was a manual entry form (had to memorise all the information and enter it on the form to match) and it would enter it and save it in the table. To get around the manual entry i used a lookup where childID is and then changed the control sources of all the fields to pick up the information.
Now, as I changed that to a lookup, it is now finding information and not using it to enter information into the table and therefore not creating a bookingID and not allowing me to save it by creating a record in the table.
Booking form pictured here
I'll attach a copy of the database when i've uploaded it.
If anyone can help i'd appreciate this so much as my final coursework deadline is wednesday. Cheers.
[Thought it's worth mentioning that all information is test information and made up]
