Car Dealer Inventory

I have posted two requests before. One of them was to allow uploading a file(s) to an ftp, and the other allowed for conversion of picture files to .jpg while at the same time changing the size of the picture. Now I am asking for the implementation of both of these options. I am making a program for a car company that is a simple database program that allows the user to store various pieces of information about the cars that they have in stock (number in stock, model, vin #, etc.). This I have already done. However, they needed two things that I haven't been able to do. You probably have already guessed them: they want to have a backup option and they need to be able to store their pictures. From this note, I need one of you to finish my program for me, adding to it an option to upload the database and pic files to the database (the info for this will be stored on a technical info page so that they can change the ftp, username, password), there needs to be a simple side program that is used to reaquire the database in the event that it loses its info or gets deleted, and the user needs to have an option to be able to input a picture of the car, change the dimensions, and then save it (it has to be as a .jpg they said).

## Deliverables

1. UPLOAD OPTION: When the user first uses the program, I had the idea that when they first go to enter the Tech Info that the program will go to the ftp that they list and make a directory \Database and a dir \Pictures. In the event of an error, there must be specific error messages (you aren't online, your password is wrong, etc.). There also needs to be an upload option that when they click it the program will send the database and pictures to their respective files. There also needs to be some sort of status bar so that the user knows that the program is working. Lastly, there must be a small side program that will prompt them to enter the ftp, the username, and the password and then will go to the ftp and then retrieve the database and the pictures. 2. PICTURE MANIPULATION AND SAVING: There must be an Open option to allow the inportation of a picture file. The user then must be able to change the dimensions (from say 640x480 to 400x240, changing the dimension to any one of the sides and having the program resize it). At this point the user must be able to save the pictures in .jpg format. 3. DIRECTORY INDEPENDENCE: Undoubtedly, this is an extremely simple problem, yet one I have yet to figure out. When you use an ADO control to link to a database, you get all sorts of errors when the App isn't in the directory that you have the ADO looking for the database in. On this note, when the user sets up the program, they should be able to place it in any directory and have the program work fine. Also, after playing around with the FTP upload options, I discovered that when uploading the database it will work if you do it from some directories and not others, so this, needless to say, cannot happen. So there must be complete directory independence. 4. GUI: Any additional nifty little eye-catchers that you will add will be nice, and keep in mind that the user of this progam will be a car salesman, not a computer guru. THIS PROGRAM HAS TO BE EXTREMELY SIMPLE TO USE (i.e. if the program could run itself that would be best). *You know what my deliverable has to be, and though I will probably change a couple pieces on the GUI that you make before giving it to the company that hired me, I hope for you to make this program has good looking as possible (with a nifty setup program if you can tell me how to make one - I use the package and deployment wizard, which sucks, so if you know of a better tool PLEASE let me know) and as user friendly as possible. However, the main thing is to have the upload and save picture options working. **Included is the progam that I have up to this point, although at this current time it must be installed to c:\AutoAds\ ***I also noticed that the two jobs I asked for before were offered to be completed at less than $100 each, so together and with the additional options I hope that under $200 will be optional.
