Database Application Framework (VB6)

Omelette

VB6 Database Application Framework

Omelette is an open source project intended to be a RAD framework to build database driven applications in Visual Basic 6.0 for 32 bit WinXP, WinME but also supported in 64 bit Windows such as Win7, Win8.X, Win10, Win2K and 2003. The project name Omelette was coming from a delicious dinner before this project started.

I found source code in VB6 can be opened or read using notepad. My idea is to store some frequently used templates and generate the source code files and use VB6 to compile them as an EXE or DLL.

VB6 project source code can be generated on the fly. With the addition of a "fake" command line form, developer can generate project files and MS Access database using a few commands.

Example:

vb create Customer

vb generate model Customer

The above commands create a vb6 project inside Projects folder name Customer with an empty form and a folder name Data with a MS Access database name Data.mdb with a Customer table.
