Biodiesel production software, Beta Testers needed!
I have been working for some time now on a program that will meet the needs of most if not all Biodeisel producers.
The program takes all the guess work out of preparing a batch and tracks all history.
It contains many tools, resources and information as well as puts all history and statistics at your finger tips. It does both US and metric.
I am looking for a couple of active biodiesel producers willing to Beta Test the software for me. Right now, Microsoft Access 2000 is required to run the software. Working knowledge of Access would be helpful but not required.
If you would like to do some Beta Testing, please contact me via email rick (at) omahametropsd (dot) org.
I am shooting for a late January 2006 release date.
Here is a link to some screen shots if you would like to check it out. Biodiesel Software Screen Shots
Let me know if you find any typos! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
Thanks,

Well between the holidays and me (I just keep adding more and more to the program!), I am running behind about a week.
For those that have vol. to do beta testing, thank you very much and I will be getting back to you soon, hopefully late next week.
I have used the program to make a few 40 gallon batches and the math and recipes worked very well.
Sure makes it nice to have all the data in one place-even the SCALE SETTINGS!
Have a safe and happy New Year!

Re: Biodiesel production software, Beta Testers needed!
Do you have a Linux version? I have a high adversion to Windows.

Re: Biodiesel production software, Beta Testers needed!
What about WinE (Windows Emulator) and OpenOffice 2.0 ?
Will that work?

Re: Biodiesel production software, Beta Testers needed!
That's a thought, I've not been able to get WinE to run yet as I've not had time to learn it.
