Today I am releasing EMMA, a project that I have been working on, on and off, for around 6 months now.
EMMA is a helper application for traders, investors and CEOs Eve. The code is open source and the program is free to download and use though I would hope to get a few ISK donations to pursuade me to keep things going. ;)
I will also fix errors and continue optimising the current code for free. However, if someone wants a new feature, then I will give a price in ISK for that feature. Anyone can then donate isk to the pot for implementing that feature and when the total ammount is raised, I will add it in.
Alternatively, IÆm happy for people to develop new features themselves through the project hosted at sourceforge. (Pending approval, will hopefully come through in the next few days.)
History Key Features Bugs Enhancement Requests
EMMA is still a reasonable complicated application so I highly recommend reading the manual included with the zip file before diving in.
If it does not work then try reading the æinstallationÆ section in the manual, otherwise I can be contacted in-game or at [email protected]

Edited by: Ambo on 29/11/2007 12:52:12 History
EMMA started as a replacement for an Excel sheet I was using back in June this year. I initially planned to have the whole thing finished and released within a month or so but after a few weeks I just wanted to finish it and rushed things a little, leaving the program in an unfreindly and unreleaseable state. Still, it was good enough for me so I just used it myself for a few months.
When I ran my IPO in September, I made some improvements to EMMA and tidyed the whole thing up a bit, it was still not very friendly but in early October, Ricdic asked if he could get a copy of the program I used to produce my reports and I was happy to oblige. A few days later, he contacted me asking if I could add the ability to automatically track dividends from the journal data.
Since then, IÆve been busy adding a lot of new functionality as well as pollishing and testing the old stuff.

I'm getting a .NET Framework error on most of the actions - ranging from enabling corp mode to trying to view transaction details:
Did you want me to send you an email with the bug details or post here?

Ditto.
I guess I have used the API within hour (EveMon) and it fails to download becouse of that. It can't seem to handle the error though and just crashes.
Shut down Evemon, going to give it another try in 1.5 hrs.

I use EveMon too constantly and haven't gotten the same error as you guys. I can log in and use the software no problem. As per the FAQ did you install that Framework stuff?

I like it a lot! Didn't do to much with it yet, just ran a basic Income Statement, which made me quite sad by the way... Is there anyway to limit the statement to Sales and the Cost associated with those sales, I don't want to see player donations and such, makes my numbers all red lol!
Sorry if that's covered in the manual, probably just have not played around with it enough yet

I already wondered why he was suggesting to read the manual as it was just 2 pages long and seemed to hold just short overview of the features.
Except it wasn't and actually continues. Ooopps. .
Maybe I'll have better luck after actually downloading the requirements.. |

Rofl, good to be able to do the classic: RTFM! 
Hopfully, that should sort everything but if you still have problems after that just let me know.

Not currently, it's a nice idea though. I'll have a look at how easy it would be to do.

I get the following, with snips indicated by "...":

I really wish downloading MS SQL Express wasn't a requirment to try out this program. I'm going to give it a miss.
Thanks.

You said in the manual you haven't tested it in Vista.
Just confirming that it doesn't seem to work in Vista Ultimate x64. Getting 'input string in incorrect format' for all update transactions/journal/dividends functions.

That's a shame, sadly I have no access to a vista environment for either developing or testing so unless someone else wants to work out the compatibility issues, there will not be a fix any time soon.

Edit: I read that back and it may sound like I'm being a snob or anti MS espouser - which Im not. :)
Explanation: I have tried to install that Express SQL thingy before for another program just a few months back. I ran into a string of problems and errors and it never installed. I spent a few hours taking one step forwards and two steps backwards, downloading patches for things and following help advice on tech forums. In the end I gave up - it just wasn't worth it really. A shame, because the description sounds very promising.
I thought some people may feel this way, I choose MS express just because it was easy to use and could do everything I wanted.
It should not be too much of a big task to re-write the back end to plug into another database system, that could be somthing to think about in the future.

Tbh I'm no expert on this stuff, in fact, this is the first time I've really used SQL outside of a uni course 5 or 6 years ago.
Do you have SQL express installed or just standard SQL server?
It sounds like this is the most likely cause of the problem.

I have uploaded a new zip containing a fix for an issue when adding transactions involving 0.0 player outposts.
To install, just copy the new exe over the existing one.

Just a suggestion from someone that's been doing database development lately... try Firebird. There's a DLL you can use to embed it right into your client, thus no need to install a separate database server. The performance suffers when doing large batches (10000+), but it gets the job done without a need to install anything. --- Honest officer, the dwarf was on fire when I got here!

To install, just copy the new exe over the existing one.
I updated, and also reinstalled SQL Express, and it now works. However, when I fetched transactions, it told me that I had an unknown station in the transactions list (pretty likely, as I do most of my business in 0.0 outposts), and that I should input the information for that station. I do not, however, see any way to input that data, and I'm now locked out of retrieving my transaction data for another hour. Any suggestions? I've probably got a half-dozen outposts about which I'll need to tell the program.
