<div style="RIGHT: auto">Good afternoon list,</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">We have a 3 server Win 2003 network and we are using fpODBC (16 user). Version in rcabe is 5.0.15R9.</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">Each morning I update 15 Excel spreadsheets using an ODBC link to our ERP software written in Microsoft SQL Server.</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">I then run a process to update all our fp files. This hole process takes me between 30 and 45 minutes. Way too long.</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">Obvious question.... why not use the fp and link directly to the SQL Server.</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">Well to be blunt, I took the class in Indy 5 or 6 years ago. And just recently tried to set up the link and get this working.</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">I can not get the link to work and have forgotten anything I would have learned in the class.</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">If you are in the Chicago area and know how to do the above; I would be interested in discussing paying you to come in and get this working.</div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto"> </div>
<div style="RIGHT: auto">If you are interested please contact me at the email address below.</div>
