Program in VB6: Finding a Useful Project

[Kristy234]

I've got to make a program in vb6 for a major project, but i can't think of what to make. I would prefer to make something that i might end up using once I've made it, so that its not a complete waste of time. Any ideas?

Windows is short on utilities like unix has - like:

removing duplicate lines in a text file without having to sort it, finding duplicatated lines.

stream editing a text file using regular expressions, searching a text file using regular expressions.

There are many potential projects you could pursue in VB6 that could have practical applications for you in the future. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

1. A personal finance tracker: Create a program that allows you to input and track your income and expenses. This could be useful for budgeting and managing your finances.

2. A task management tool: Develop a program that helps you organize and prioritize your tasks and deadlines. This could be useful for managing your workload and staying on top of important tasks.

3. A recipe database: If you enjoy cooking, you could create a program that allows you to save and organize your favorite recipes. This could save you time and effort when planning meals.

4. A workout tracker: Build a program that helps you track your fitness progress and create personalized workout plans. This could be useful for anyone looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

5. A personal diary or journal: Use VB6 to create a digital diary where you can record your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This could be a useful tool for self-reflection and personal growth.

Remember, the key to a successful project is to choose something that interests you and has a practical purpose. Good luck with your project!
