Hello Rick,<br><br>Would you mind disclosing what ERP system you are running?

I raised the question because I was trying to<br>find an less time consuming way to get quality GUI / web screens for use<br>with fp. The version of our new ERP system is totally .net framework and<br>I really like the way it looks and feels.<br><br>I also like the 'grids' functions. I would love to be able to incorporate<br>that in to filePro processing for my plant mgt software.<br><br>However, the use of SQL (MySQL or Microsoft SQL server) really defeats the<br>purpose (IMHO). I don't want to use another data base as a bridge only<br>because
fp has not progressed over the past 15 years, again IMHO.<br><br>I really like fp programming and don't want to relearn the wheel, as it<br>where, of a new database with vba, etc. At this point I'll just stick to<br>using html screens.<br><br>Again thanks for the reply,<br><br>Rick Hane<br>Controller<br>Deluxe Stitching Company Inc<br>ISP Stitching Products<br>http://www.deluxestitcher.com/<br><br><br><br><br><br>________________________________<br> From: Walter Vaughan <<a href="mailto:wvaughan@steelerubber.com" ymailto="mailto:wvaughan@steelerubber.com">wvaughan@steelerubber.com</a>><br>To: filePro <<a href="mailto:filepro-list@lists.celestial.com" ymailto="mailto:filepro-list@lists.celestial.com">filepro-list@lists.celestial.com</a>><br>Sent: Thursday, July 19, 2012 4:05 PM<br>Subject: Re: fp and .net<br><br>Richard Hane wrote:<br><br>>I'd like to start a new thread.
