We use this software at work where our nurses have to type departmental notes. The software we use is buggy as hell, and once or twice a day we get run-time errors, and the nurse will loose her note. I thought about writing a simple app that will start when windows does. I need it to record the past 8100 characters. This way if we get a runtime error in the charting software, the user can open up the "clipboard" copy and paste the note, thus resulting in less production time. Does this sound doable with Visual Basic? Thanks I am new the visual basic world.
