Dimitris,

Yes, please supply any detail you can on calling JDE business functions via XML or COM.

Any examples you can supply would be great. We are currently trying to find the JDE interoperability guide, but if you have a VFP example of calling a JDE function, we would appreciate the example.

Thanks,

Jerry




>There is a way to setup com (you can find documentation in the interoperability guide, have you took a look at it?). I havent test this solution because it occured to me a litle bit complicated. But at least for simple functions there is a way to call business functions via xml and get values back. What is the name of the business function that you want to call? I have tested the xml soltion, i also used it to update the z-files (it is better to do it this way because you get a sort of validation). In order xml functionality to work you need to declare some dlls which exist in the system directory of jde. If you are interested on this solution i can give more details.
