Eric,

What would LogPro need to do to support kitting?

Bob,
I was told by Guide Technologies (unless I heard them wrong) that their
interface to LogPro cannot handle Kits.  One of my customers has an issue
and I have not had time to research it further but can talk/email offline to
discuss it further.
