RE: UPS WorldShip via ODBC - why ODBC?

["jt" <jt@xxxxxx>]

Doug,

No, I agree they don't need to...

But ODBC...?  After what has been said on this list?  Who needs a
"saga"...?!?

Whatever happened to the goal of "works first time, every time"...?

ODBC DOES do the job, no doubt...  However, it seems like an extra layer of
complication, another point of failure, and an unnecessary reduction of
stability.  (From what little I read of this thread, anyway...)

|
| I don't think they need to.  WorldShip is highly configurable.
| After the latest
| reinstall, they are seeing some other things which seem odd to
| them (aside from
| the 400 connectivity).
|
| So they are taking the machine back to their office to re-ghost
| the disk drive
| and then we'll start over again.
|
| The saga continues...
