Actually, Mike, I respectfully beg to differ with you. I, as a partner, received two FYI e-mails from Able Solutions in the past two months - Sept and Oct. In either one there is absolutely no mention of your companies switch to ASP. Here is the text that accompanied each FYI e-mail: "* CommerceBuilder 1.0 goes to public beta - Download a copy today! CommerceBuilder is a fully customizable real-time electronic commerce shopping system. It incorporates an online store-building utility that simplifies multiple store management. All system-level and merchant-level administration runs entirely from a web browser. With CommerceBuilder, you can dynamically create and update your product inventory in real-time while using the built-in inactivate and preview features necessary for areas in construction. You have the ability to manage tens-of-thousands of products or just one. A relational (hierarchical) database allows inventory into be organized into unlimited levels of categories for easy page-by-page navigation. CommerceBuilder enables merchants to easily create and modify store templates using standard HTML editors such as Microsoft FrontPage and Macromedia DreamWeaver. Twelve fully functional store templates are included with the program. These templates can be used as is, or customized to give a unique look and feel. Integrated sub-modules include shipping, taxes, discounts, order retrieval, product options, cross selling, and reports. CommerceBuilder can support multiple domains, multiple SSL certificates, and custom template modifications while still using the dynamic settings provided by the online administration modules. At the core of CommerceBuilder is a set of compiled modules that can be accessed via popular web scripting languages. These modules provide the functions necessary to e-commerce, such as user tracking, product management, and online payment processing. Support for many third-party real-time credit card processors is included, and the interface is fully extendable for integration with most other payment gateways." I don't see any reference to the new version being ASP and not CF. I would think as a Partner we would have received a more informational message than this. Maybe if we, as partners, DID receive the information you list in times 1,2 and 3 below, we would not be confused as to what your company was up to until we heard about it upon its release. >Contact Katie in accounting to confirm your email is listed in our system > correctly, so that you can avoid posting incorrect information in > this manner again. The information I posted, Mike, was given to me by your tech support team. Like me, are THEY misinformed too? Should I trust what they say in the future?
