MyIdeasJournal

MyIdeasJournal is a database program that you can use to capture any ideas. In order to protect your privacy, MyIdeasJournal features two levels of protection. First, access to the program is password protected and, second, the idea journal entry stored in the program's database file is encrypted.

In the program's main window, the program automatically displays a random brainstorming prompt. You can use this prompt to help stimulate creative thinking. You can also add your own prompts or motivational quotes. You can resize or reposition the main window and its size and location will be "remembered" when you run the program the next time.

You can easily add new entries. There are only two input textboxes for you to enter. The others are automatically filled. You only enter the Subject and the Idea Journal entry.

Searching for entries by subject is also very easy and fast. You can enter partial search strings and click the Go button. The list of matching subjects found will be listed in the listbox. To view the details, click the listbox item.

When in the program's Browse mode, the program automatically retrieves all the subjects and fills the listbox. The first item in the listbox is then displayed. You can use the arrow up and arrow down keys to navigate through the entire database.

You can edit any record either in Search mode or in Browse mode. After making the changes, click the Save button and your edited record will be saved.

You can delete any record when you are either in Search mode or in Browse mode. To delete any record, first select the item in the listbox, then view the details to confirm that you really want to delete it. If you are sure, click the Delete button.

This program uses a very fast and efficient embedded SQL engine. It also has a menu option for you to compact its database so as to reclaim unused space after the deletion of many records.

This program is small and fast. The main program is coded in assembly language
