Hi Stephen,

I've checked into your questions and have some answers that I can pass on to you. Not sure that we should continue this discussion here, since it doesn't directly pertain to VFP specifically. I'll e-mail you, ok? Is your UT e-mail address current?

>>Hi Stephen,

>>I've spent several years implementing Maximo, as well as several other CMMS/EAM systems like EMPAC, SAP, etc., and all using FoxPro/Visual FoxPro in conjunction with the implementation.
>>
>>Maximo has been one of the more user-friendlier systems and has been very flexible. As with any CMMS/EAM system, there are many modules. Which areas would you like feedback on: Maintenance Work Orders/Planning/Scheduling, Materials/Inventory/Spares management, HR, Financials?
