RE: Files & field layouts

ERLCOMx does have order history.  Just press Enter from the COM order data
base screen and you will see history.  Pressing F12 will take you back to
open.  I called MAPICS about getting a file flowchart for XA5 COM and one is
not available yet.

        I recall seeing one of the messages in this thread referring to
ERLCOMv
        (where v is the XA version number).  If you access the COM Database
Overview
        via the hotkey F9, it will give the equivalent of the nifty
flowchart for
        the Open Database side.  Be aware that it does not give the
corresponding
        info on the COM History database.

        I have copies of both the COM Order Database and the History
Database and
        find them to be absolutely irreplaceable when working on support
programs.
        I will offer my time and effort to copy them to either a Word or
Excel file
        if anyone would like to receive them directly as attachments.
