Thanks Jeff,
I will give it a read, and sorry for the vagueness, I'm really just trying to find some ideas of where I can apply the things I know, and the things I'm finding out. As in, one of the clients we have has a certain standard of how to fill out the description portion of the revision block in their supplied title block. I'm taking text from an ASCII file and filling in the revision/description/drafter/engineer, all or some of these attributes with ODBX. Just one example.
As far as my coding knowledge, I'm just a Hack. I've coded some major apps, using Lisp, VBA, and some menu Diesel, all orchestrated to do what they need to at the time they need to do it. But with no formal training, I'm not sure how someone with an expert status would critique it. One example would be my "Drawing Tracker" I made for a client. It's just basicall titleblock information tied to a database, with tracked editing time, plotting statistics, revision tracking, and more. This is a mess of code that just seems to keep on working.
