SALEANAL: Visual Basic(TM) Pen Forecast Tracking
Application

SALEANAL is a Microsoft(R) Windows(TM) for Pen Computing
application that was developed using Visual Basic with
Professional Toolkit. The application implements a
salesperson's performance sheet and includes built-in
calculations, note areas to capture ink, and links to
Microsoft Excel for charting capabilities.

SALEANAL consists of three main forms:

>  The first form contains the date, sales representative
 name, and territory fields, which are used as indexes into
a database. The available sales representatives and
territories are stored in a drop-down list box. You can
add new names and territories to this list.

>  If SALEANAL finds information in the database
pertaining to the selected date, sales representative, and
territory, it displays a Revenue and Expense Report form
with this information. If it does not find any
information, it displays the forecast for the current
month and for the next month, but does not show actual
figures. You can also enter notes or view a Year-to-Date
Profit chart in Microsoft Excel.

>  The third form displays information on days worked,
calls taken, new accounts gained, and total accounts
gained. You can also enter notes or view a Year-to-Date
Profit chart in Microsoft Excel. This chart shows how an
account might leverage the 5,000+ Windows-based
applications to produce a chart that highlights a sales
representative's performance.

If Microsoft Excel is not installed on your machine, tap
the chart icon in the third screen. This button launches
Microsoft Excel and automatically creates a chart.

You can access the Notes screen from the second or third
form. This screen lets you enter notes for the form. Notes
are maintained while you view or modify the information
for a particular date, sales representative, and
territory, but are lost when you return to the first
screen or exit the application.

SALEANAL was built and tested under Microsoft Windows
version 3.1 and Visual Basic version 1.0. The program
requires PENWIN.DLL, which can be found in both Microsoft
Windows for Pen Computing and the Microsoft Windows
version 3.1 Software Development Kit (SDK).
