Thanks. for all your input... it really helps me. from your explanation... you make it clear that there is NO WAY cf7 query in a way like cf5 does ?
Our website... www.ilovesmart.com is quite active... so... at this moment... we do not want to take the risk to convert from cf5 to cf7 Unless we can find somebody (or company) who can guarantee the process of this transition. if somebody (or company) interested to take this JOB... please let me know... our company is really interested. Back to those above..... so...we have another server running cf7. ... whith application that needs to read customer data from those server running cf5 so... we have two options... - make a synchronization... between 2 databases... in two different server... (only fields which contains customer data address, name, etc) - Find a way... that cf7 can read database from those cf5 server... (maybe through third party script ? ... or ... I don't know) There must be a way..... or is it really NO WAY ? - What about the next cf8.... I really headache and confused about this encoding... Any suggestion would be very helpful. Thanks.
