Hi,

I'm trying to meet a deadline and im trying to fix some bugs before that deadline, the current programmer is busy adding features and also working on bugs but we need the extra help to get these all done by the deadline.

A quick and basic explanation of what the program does:
It monitors a database and when it exceeds certain criteria it launches a countdown and closes certain exe programs running when the countdown finishes. It locks them out for an hour and if they try and relaunch the exes within that hour it will start the countdown and close it again. So its kind of like a netnanny type application but its job is to close poker clients when it exceeds a certain amount lost.

The program is fully functional but some people are experiencing these type of bugs:

1) One of the tools that shows what the current amounts being tracked are is freezing, its mostly used as a debug tool but wed like to track down whats causing the freeze and get it fixed. (Vista)
2) This guy with the same problem above has another issue, when the amount is exceeded the countdown is delayed and doesnt run when it should, since we cant see the debug tool (see 1 above) its hard to figure out the issue (Vista)
3) Another guy the countdown and lockout dosent happen at all when it should, however if he closes the exe and tries to reopen it then the other lockout then works, this happens with XP
4) On XP aswell with one of my test machines the lockout starts and when it gets to the end when it should shut down the exe it just loops through and does the countdown over and over but never closes the exe.
5) Ive one other guy that gets a crash when the program starts, again we need to track down what causes this and fix it

So the thing with all of the above is they dont happen for everyone and seem specific to that user however if its happening to some people it may happen to others so i need to fix that. All of these users will allow you to login to their PC with Teamviewer to troubleshoot the issue, i can provide a test enviroment with the program running that you can troubleshoot, i believe Powerbuilder 10 is installed on that PC too.

You will have contact with the main Powerbuilder programmer to ask any questions about the code and how it works. What youll need to do is probably make a debug version of the program where it narrows down the line of code that causes the crash/issue possibly by putting alert messages into the code or whatever way you find easiest to find the issue and then fix the code. I think the XP issues are specific to XP, maybe it doesnt like the code as it was designed mostly on vista platform.

The database used is PostgreSQL but you shouldnt need to worry about this as none of the problems are really related to PostgreSQL and its pretty straight forward if youve any SQL experience.

So if your interested and have more questions please contact me
