This project involves intense development for a computer repair/retail store management system. That is, I want one program to do all of the following: - Accounting for business and personal, that competes with Quicken Probooks Primier AND Microsoft Accounting (latest versions) - Point of Sale/inventory software that works with barcode scanners, and competes with Quickbooks POS and Microsoft Dynamics software, latest editions - Mailing list management software that prevents spam - Customer database - Profit calculator based on the markup prices I will give you - Internal web browser and email management software - Small games, like a solitaire - Helpdesk software that competes with popular helpdesk software (this requires research on your part) - A setup program for managing the software (setup within the program), including network access and user management. You will retain full authorship of this program and may include yourself in the Help Menu --> Credits section. I will be granted access, however, to distribute the program, even accepting cash for it, without you obtaining any monies for such distribution. I expect it to have graphical buttons, a menubar, support for skins and at least 2 skins, a skin creation program separate from this program (that uses XML), a toolbar, and whatever else you feel is necessary to make it complete. I expect a very complex but user-friendly program. I expect the program to be built in Visual Basic 2005 and use Microsoft Access database (just one only, unless this can't be done). Each skin should be editable for a certain degree within the program like Windows themes are, and should support these theme files.
