Yep, so when the changes come, I will have to do some more programming! I was hoping to do it correctly once, and never have to look at another line of code ever again! Yeah, right...
The registry has been modified. It now decodes the VIN and saves the model year, the serial number, and the model. (Some think our serial number starts with a three but it actually is only the last four digits. The three signifies an Elise, while the eight signifies an Exige.)
The sort is based on the build date, now saved as a year and month. The build date may be different from the model year. I guessed at the build year on some entries when I fixed current entries. Some entries did not bother to enter the build date and appear at the beginning, sorted by serial number.
Colors are displayed now but not correctly.
I started to add the compiled display with comment and picture but did not have time to finish it. Perhaps in a week.
I have removed all displays of VIN numbers. Or so I hope. I will have to check to see if one is mentioned in an error statement and will remove them if they are. All illegitimate use of VINs should now be prevented.
I did not have time to do a lot of testing this time around. The basic structure should work. Please email me or post problems here and I will fix upon my return. I will review comments in this thread, both past and future, and will make the necessary further modifications sometime next week.
