RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To overcome the defects of pharmaceutical preparations record files caused by hand writing or typing. METHODS: Based on Visual Basic 6.0 and the powerful automatic data processing capability of Microsoft Excel, the file management system of pharmaceutical preparations was made and put into use. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS: This system offers complete and standardized experimental record. The operation is easy and convenient. After inputting the constants and variable data, the system can perform many functions, such as automatic word input, automatic calculation of experimental data, autosaving and autotyping experiment log and automatic record query. The system can greatly enhance work efficiency meanwhile eliminating medicine accident caused by computational errors.
