Hi Bob:

All the more reason why I'm concluding this is a good way to go, especially since SBT just got bought by Computer Associates -- who has traditionally trashed every PC-based company it has acquired (see my other response to John Kiernam)...

Many, many thanx for your input. If we end up going this way, its worth a bottle of your favorite beverage..... I owe you one.

Rob

>One of our manufacturing departments was spun off as a separate company last year and selected Made2Manage for their manufacturing system. I helped with the data migration from our Informix system to the VFP databases. I had some long talks with the technical guys at M2M and was very impressed with their knowledge and their long-range plans for the package. The guys in our spinoff love it.
