HTVT Reporting Application Updates

I spent the last couple weeks making major changes to the HTVT Reporting application. The highlights are:

• Application now utilizes Microsoft SQL and stored procedures
• Skinned to look like it is part of LUWS
• Now even more secure with username/password requirement (only for Supervisors and Presidency Members
• All reporting URLs are now encrypted
• Auto E-Mail routine is now far more robust and reliable

This application is very close to being "Enterprise ready" now and I am just as excited about it as I ever was.

I need a good "Home Teaching" graphic to replace the ward building below. Any suggestions?

A close up of the last day of the month

hahaha....

I don't think that would quite be sending the right message. How about a close-up of the FIRST day of the month?

No one would understand it.

As far as images, some combination of two images - one of brothers teaching a family, one of sisters teaching a sister.

I'm rather of fond of this one. Kind of says it all.

Great picture but I'd not include it unless permission was given by the author/creator.

I think that picture would be great to use and it does send a good message for both Home and Visiting Teaching. If someone wants to investigate what would be required to get permission to use it, we could give it a try.

Isn't that one of Greg Olsen's? Maybe the church could get permission from him to use it.

No, it's from the Simon Dewey collection. I know the Church has used quite a bit of his work in various publications and you also can buy prints of his work at Deseret Book, but I would have no idea how to go about getting permission to use an image like that in your project.

Just an FYI..... I have been in contact with the publisher of the Simon Dewey painting. I haven't been able to get any information from them yet, but I haven't given up.

It has recently been made clear to me that this application will never be pilot tested or adopted by the Church. The only way this will happen is if the Church approves it internally and "re-develops" it. This was hinted to me many times, however I always had hope that some exceptions could be made and we could pilot test this application.

Needless to say, I am extremely disappointed.... it is really tough to let go of something like this after working so hard on it for a year and a half. I do understand the Church's reasoning behind not using this application..... but it is still very hard.

Thanks to everyone that supported this effort. I will now let go of this dream of mine for good ... not because I want to, but because I have no choice.

Thanks,
