Re:Writing custom history to MNHHDR & MNHDTL (Browser History)

[michael.ellis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Chris,

I have done it.   It was no easy job.  We are creating a custom time & 
expenses billing application interfaced with COM using Integrator.  The 
sample programs you get from MAPICS have bugs in them (or did, but I doubt 
if anyone has updated them).   I eventually went back to Paragon for 
assistance.  They helped me alot.  I learned alot about the Integrator 
programming approach and how to get the stuff to work properly.  From a 
technical perspective, they were great to work with (I of course expected 
to and did pay them for the help).  Even though we shouldn't have to pay 
to fix MAPICS bugs, sometimes you gotta cut your losses and realize the 
battle isn't worth fighting.  I wanted the application to work and was 
willing to spned money to get there.

Now we're slowing working on the application.  It's internal at the 
moment, so no revenue incentive to work hard on it.  But the concept is 
superb.  I hope INFOR has the good sense to FINALLY spread this technology 
across the XA line.

Please let me know if we could be helpful to you in writing your 
application. 

Mike

Has anyone tried to  write custom history data to the MAPICS maintenance 
history files MNHHDR and MNHDTL? Does anyone know an easy way of doing 
this? Should I be attempting this?

Thanks for any assistance
