Re: SYS21 - Sys21 - General Ledger Reporting system

The problem with 3rd party products is that there is no business
intelligence.  This means you have to have a good understanding of the
files and their relationships or get someone to build it in for you.
Active Reporter, IQ Object & Corvu from GEAC have it supplied.

Win200 didnt like my laptop.  There were no sound drivers or modem
drivers available.  3 steps forward 2 steps back.

GEAC Readers... Do I get any commission?  Am I infringing on the rules
of the group?  Is my humour getting bad?


Regards

Michael
