Recruitment System 1.0 Updates

After cracking aceview.dll, i have to redo the code in printing. Well it will going to take me one week to convert and optimize the code. But it will be better than the old ViewPro, which is an ocx made for VB6.

Added some additional features but bugs still hitting me. I will try to make this program bug free as the software matures.

In Case of Emergency Break the Glass

In my current project Recruitment System 1.0, i needed Hexatech Aceview for document printing I managed to "crack" the dll by overwriting the message. Now I have a working copy of the dll. I used Hex Workshop to crack it.

If you want a copy of the Dll for your project just send me a message and i will give you a copy.
This is for demo purpose only. I you find the software useful, buy the software. I'm not promoting software piracy. Peace to all mankind.

Some icons have been added, graphics has been optimized. Still some features will be added soon, I just need some time to complete some modules.
