I'm working on a Work Order project.
It is currently slated to be fat client. VFP front end - back end will either be VFP or likely SQL Server. Web front end, but the user base is via corporate intranet.
I've used Web Connect before and am comfortable with its capabilities if you feel web based is a better way. (I see how slick UT continues to evolve with capabilities)
Currently some users use a standardized Word DOC and email it to the labs doing the work. They are comfortable with Word because of spell check, font control, etc.
Other users/labs use an early Work Order system I built in pure VFP a number of years ago. What's better about it is the data validation, better part handling, query and reporting.
Now we wish to commonize.
I'm thinking the backend will likely have to go SQL due to sheer size of work orders. Typically they run about 1/2 page in Word, but can go to 6-7 pages. 1000s are written each year.
I like VFP as the front end for the attributes, validation and rich control/customization. However, I'd like to somehow allow the users to still use Word for the text portion of the work order.
I'm not sure how to approach this, plus I'm a SQL Server newbie. Even if there was a good RTF type control that could write to the equivalent of a memo type field in SQL Server, that would be good. Spell check is a nice to have, but not a deal breaker at this point.
Any suggestions or directions I should be checking for this project?
Thanks,
Peter
