Database Auto-fill Software GUI

Database Auto-fill Software GUI

The Database Auto-full Software GUI projects is the frontend of the auto-fill project. It asks the user the name of the section that needs to be auto-filled, and on-clicking the auto-fill button, it runs the backend scripts to fill the MS Access Database. It updates the user of the current step the scripts are on using a progress bar. Open the MS Access database or use the Data Entry Form to verify that the section is filled.

autofill-frontend's Issues

Incomplete Readme

The readme is currently incomplete and lacks sufficient information to hand off development. Without the minimum information in the example below it would take a significant number of hours for someone to dig through all the folders just to maintain the software.

If helpful information is available but not located in the readme provide a link in the appropriate section as to where the information can be found.
