Orion Project Information

It's hard to call Orion a project.  It's just an Excel 2007 workbook that I currently use to manage my time.  Since, I've started posting code samples from it, so I thought it might be useful to provide some background.

Application Working Title:   Orion

IDE:   Microsoft Excel 2007
Database:   Microsoft Excel 2007
Code Languages:  Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)

What is it supposed to Do:  Intermediate solution for tracking my work.

History:   In 2010, I didn't renew my license for M$ Acce$$ and I had to abandon my Hawkeye tool for work tracking.  I still had to track my work, so, I began using Excel.  I named the file Orion.xlsm since Orion is also a Navy aircraft like Hawkeye and is used for patrolling for submarines.  I thought it applicable.  At the time, it was supposed to be a simple interim solution.  That was four years ago.  Now it consists of nearly 40 worksheets, contains approximately 2000 rows of data covering only the last year, since I purge the data at the end of every year.  So much for "interim" tool.
