INTRODUCTION
It is application software of “Courier Services.”. This software is a user
friendly which is a made visual basic 6.0 there are one database file which is use in
this project and 8 forms are used.
We are able to store all the information of particular CONSUMER and
also with help of database we can have all the information tin the form of
report. We can have the information of each CONSUMER form admission.
Same as we maintain register for the consumer programs, we have done
all the things manually. But now we went to do through computers by which
we save a lot of time and accurate data. In computerized system we have lot
of benefits like processing is very fast which is very less time consuming.
In this project we have the facility of entering the records, deletion and
addition.
With the help of this project an operator can maintain all the information
of consumers.
On very first we enter initialization form of particular consumer. We will
enter that consumer information, which have already initialization.

Software and Hardware Specification
Software Specification :
Operating System Type - MS-WindowsXP
Front-End - Visual Basic
Back-End - MS-Access
Hardware Specification:
RAM - 32 MB
Hard Disk - 500 MB free space on HDD
Printer - HP LaserJet 1000
Monitor - VGA
Processor - Pentium 4
WHY MS-ACCESS:-
A database is a collection of information related to a particular subject
or purpose such as tracking customer order or maintaining a music collection. If
your database is not stored on a computer or only part of it are we may be tracking
information from a variety of sources that we have to coordinate and organize your
self.
Using Microsoft Access, we can manage all our information from a single
database file. Within the file, divide our data into separate storage containers
called Tables, view and update table data using online forms, find and retrieve just
the data we want using quires and analyze or print the data in a specific layout
using report.
1.To store our data create one table for each type of information we track. To
bring the data from multiple tables together i a query, form or report, we define the
relationship between the tables.
2.To find the retrieve just the data that meets conditions we specify, including
data from multiple tables, create a query .A query can also update or delete
multiple records at the same time, and perform built-in or custom calculations on
our data.
3.To analyze our data or present it a certain way it print, create a report.For
example, we might print one report that group's data and calculatio totals and
another report wit different data formatted for printing mailing labels.
WHY VISUAL BASIC:-
The working environment Visual Basic is often referred as
the integrated development environment or the IDE because it integrates many
different functions such as design, editing, compiling and debugging within a
common environment. In most traditional development tools each of these
functions would operate as a separate program each with its own interface.
The following key points make Visual Basic an Excellent development tool
(features): -
1.Applications are event driven. Event Driven means the user is control of the
application. The user generates a stream or event each time he/she clicks with
mouse or presses any key on the keyboard.
Visual Basic support the principles of object oriented design, it means

that you can compartmentalize. Different aspects of our application as object,
develop and test those objects independently of the rest of the application certain
properties and invoking the method of control over the user's interaction with the
visual basic program you have written.
2.Microsoft has defined the Visual Basic to be a complete windows application

development system this means that your visual basic application will lock and
behave like other windows program your user might work with.
3.Visual basic infinitely extensible through the use of active-x control dynamically
linked libraries (DLL's) and Add-Ins.
VISUAL BASIC 6.0
Microsoft Visual Basic is the quickest & easiest way to create application
for the Microsoft window operating system. The Visual Basic programming
system allows you to attractive & useful application that fully exploits the
graphical user interface (GUI).
Visual Basic makes you more productive by providing appropriate tools
for the different aspect s of GUI development. You create the Graphical User
Interface for your application by drawing objects in a graphical way. You set
properties on these objects to refine their appearance. Then you make this interface
react to the user by writing code that responds to events that occur in the interface.
Using Visual Basic, you can powerful, full-feature application that
exploit the key feature of MS-window, including Multiple Document
Interface(MDI), Object Linking & Embedding(OLE), Dynamic Data
Exchange(DDE),graphical & more Visual Basic can be Extended by adding
custom controls & by calling procedures in Dynamic Link Libraries(DLLs). your
finish application is a true EXE file that uses a runtime DLL that you can freely
distribute.
Project Outline
(A) The title of the project:
“Courier Services.”
(B) The objective of the project:

This is Proved by the execute and working with this project with giving
description.
(C) Objectives achieved successfully:
We can successfully achieved the objectives which Require to the
Telephone Department and also our such that to edit amount.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS
System analysis is an activity that encompasses most of the tasks called
Computer system Engineering. System analysis defines the more of each element
in a computer-based system, ultimately allowing the role that software will play.
System analysis encompasses requirements gathering of the system level small
amount of top level design.
System analysis is conducted with the following objects in mind:
-Identify the customer need.
-Evaluate the system concepts for feasibility.
-Perform economic and technical analysis.
-Allocate functions to hardware, software, people, database and other system

elements.
-Create a system definition.
System size and complexity, application area and endues are a few of the
many variable that affect the overall analysis effort. The major activities that are
undertaken during the analysis phase are:
-Problem Definition
-Study the present system
-Proposed system
-Feasibility study
FEASIBILITY STUDY
Feasibility study is high level version of the entire system Analysis and
design a process. The purpose of feasibility is a not to solve the problem, but to
determine if the problem is worth solving. It is conduct performance is defined by
the identification of specific system objects and descriptive of outputs.
Three key considerations that are involved in feasibility analysis are :-
-Economic feasibility
-Technical feasibility
-Operational feasibility
ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY :
Economic analysis is the most frequently used method for evaluating the
effectiveness of the proposed system. This is an on going effort that improves in
accuracy at each phase of the system life cycle. As the necessary software and
hardware is available in the organization the initial investment for proposed system
is nil. The proposed system is minimizes the time and effort of the data collection,
answering queries and generate reports which results significant
saving of the operating costs.
Thus, the proposed system is economically feasible.

TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY:
It centers around the existing computer system (h/w, s/w…) and to what
extent it can support the proposed system. The necessary H/W and S/W tools
available in the Organization and the software recommended support the system
Objects. Thus, it is technically feasible to design and develop the Proposed
system.
OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY :
On the above analysis Users are inherently resistant to change and computers have
been known to facilitate change. An estimate should be made of how strong a
reaction the user is likely to towards the development of a new system. As the
proposed system is user friendly package with all visual aids, the effort that goes
into education and training the user is almost negligible.
Therefore resistance to the proposed system is nil. Based the
recommended system is feasible.

SOFTWARE PLANNING
Programmer writes before source code then the make Planning for developing the
project. They are define variables Methods and constant for the manually to
developing the project. Planning involves selecting mission and and achieving our
goals. We make project before define the planning of our project.
SCHEDULING SYSTEM:-
The programmer defines which job executes first scheduled It. These
sequences are data are executed. According execution the Make reports on the data
base project. In execution time operating System uses the scheduler for the
executing the statement.
System Information Engineering
Analysis Design Coding Testing
PREFACE
The project Courier Services. is created to store and maintain information of
consumers by computers. This work is done in past manually means information
store in register manually. To eliminate the processing of entering and searching
records from files which is very time consuming.

13. search Receive Order Form
14. Help Form
15. Close Program Form
MODULE LEVEL CONCEPT

In our project we are using several kinds of command button. Each button
has different kind of work the buttons, which our using in our project is as
following-
1. ADD BUTTON:
Add button is used for adding a new record.
2. SAVE BUTTON:
Save button is used for saving record.
3. DELETE BUTTON:
Delete button is used for deleting an existing record.
4. SHOW BUTTON:
Record button is used for display record.
5. EDIT BUTTON:
Edit button is used for editing Record.
6.FIRST RECORD BUTTON:
First record button is used for displaying first record.

7. LAST RECORD BUTTON:
Last record button is used for displaying last record.
8.NEXT RECORD BUTTON:
Next record button is used for displaying next record
9.PREVIOUS RECORD BUTTON:
Previous record button is used for displaying previous record.
10.EXIT BUTTON:
Exit button is used for closing the window.
11.CANCLE BUTTON:
Cancel button is used for closing the window.
TESTING AND DEBUGGING

After the code has been generated testing step starts. The testing process
focuses on the logical internal of the software that ensures all statements have
been tested A good test has a high provability of finding and error. To achieve this
goal, the tester must understand the software and attempt to develop a mental
picture of how the software might fail. Ideally, the classes of failure are probed. A
good test is not redundant. Testing time and resources are limited there is no point
in conducting a test that has the same purpose as another test. Every test should
have a different purpose, a good test should be “best of breed”. In a group of test
that have a similar intent, time and resources limitation may mitigate towards the
execution of only a subset of these tests. The test should be neither too simple not
too complex. We have performed these types of testing.

Black box testing:
Knowing the specified function that a product has been design to
perform, tests can be conducted that demonstrate each function is fully operational
while at the same time searching for errors in each function black box testing
alludes to test that are conducted at the software interface.
black box test examines some fundamental aspect of a system with little
regard for he internal logical structure of software

White box testing:
Guarantee that all independent part with in a
module have been exercised at leas once. It means that all the hyper links are
checked that they open the right page or not. So for this we have checked all
hyper links at least once. Exercise internal data structures to ensure the
validity.
VALIDATION TESTING
A final series of software tests- validation testing may begin validation can
be defined in many ways, but a simple definition is that validation. Succeeds when
software functions in a manner that can be reasonably expect by the customer.
SYSTEM TESTING
System Testing is actually a series of different tests who’s primary?
Purpose is to fully exercise the computer-based system. Although each test has
a different purpose, all work to verify that system elements have been property
integrated and performs allocated function.

System Security Measures
Application Security :
In my project ,given password has provided an application security.
In project if the user type’s wrong password then he or she can not enter inside the
project , if user want to use or run the project, then he or she must enter the current
username and password. This project have two passwords to maintain system
security:
Database Security :
Database security is the most essential to avoid theft or leakage of
confidential data. A strict control must be kept over the issue of data files, backup
copies of critical files should be stored away and not accessible even to the
librarian, so that possibilities of destruction’s are minimized.

CONCLUSION
This project stored information about the consumers. The project is
useable to store information about consumer at courier services. The main
advantage of these project that this project was eliminate the process of keep
information in registers manually, this process is very time consuming at
entering information and search the information of particular consumer so we
developed this project. By use of this project we can insert, delete, and also
search the information about any particular consumer using computer.
