Re: Using MAPICS databases in other Applications

We do something similar with no issues using ODBC & OLEDB.

The only gotcha's will occur when you feed data back. If you start to do
that I recommend always using off-line loads wherever possible because
they really simplify the transaction requirements.

Good Morning Bob,

I've been using .PHP and an OBDC driver to fetch data from MAPICS files.
I'm only reading, so there isn't any harm done to the underlying
database.

Which technology were you planning on using?

Thanks

Good Morning,
I am venturing into new territory this morning. We are writing a
new web based app that needs to use some MAPICS files. Are there any
gotchas or special things I need to do to the programs so they don't
mess with MAPICS

Thanks in advance
