RE: Mapics data extract

["Asok Rathnasabapathy" <arathnasabapathy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Paola,

Thanks for your reply. We have recently acquired a company that has a
MAPICS system from the 80's and it has never been updated since. We are
still in the deciding phase to either go with a MAPICS upgrade or for a
custom based system. We are in NO way a competition to MAPICS. I
understand that you have all put in the hard time and effort to learn
things. But please do remember that someday somebody helped and guided
you.

All I asked you was a simple question and if you and the others who
concurred with you think that I have no business here, I'll unsubscribe
from the group and thanks for all of you who have replied me sharing
their wealth of knowledge.

Thank you.

Asok.

Asok,

It strikes me as very odd that you would come to this board to try to
get a tool to extract data from the MAPICS applications.  I went to your
website www.cauto.com which stands for Creative Automation.  Your
company offers Computer Services, Data Enhancements and Database
Management.  Sounds like you are the competition to MAPICS and you can
go figure out how to "extract the
data" someplace other than this board.   Do like the rest of us have -
learn
the product and the file structure in the school of hard knocks.

Sorry, but I won't help you take another customer away from MAPICS, Inc.
