<html><body><div style="color:#000; background-color:#fff; font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:12pt"><div>We need help setting up our fpODBC. I have over 30 yrs with fp. I also do a lot of transferring of data between our MRP software (written in Microsoft SQL Server) and fp via the ODBC link in Excel. I even took the class in Indy on the ODBC. That all being said I don't have the time to play with this and need it setup PDQ.</div><div> </div><div>A short description of what we do.</div><div>
</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"><font face="Calibri">There are about 15 Excel
spreadsheets I import every day, from MRP then read in to filePro. All I
am looking for the fpODBC to do is eliminate the need for the spreadsheets and
read the data directly. It does not need to be live data as a record is
called up during the day, rather just a daily update process that I would set as a scheduled task.</font></span></div><div>

the spread sheets with data and field names. Obviously also include the
table name. What I would need from you is how to set up the link ( I had a problem when I tried to do this 3 years ago) and write the process to do
the importing. Probably Only need you to show 1 of the processes. The rest I can write.</font></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"><font face="Calibri"></font></span> </div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"><font face="Calibri">I am assuming (insert joke here) 3 - 5 hours.
