Pat,
Thx for responding. I have a set of problems with the application. I need a game plan. Critical processing data and customer information are in an unsupported data base system. A handful of crude reports are all that are available. It runs in DOS (I think). There is no easy inquiry or report writer. It is difficult to get information out of the system. I have no idea how to upgrade it or whether it's worth trying. If we extract the data will it be just a bunch of unstructured data? Or, will we be able to identify the datat with fields and record layouts? If we were to port it to a new software platform, which one? How would I select the platform? Who would handle the data transfer and get to the functionality we need? What are your thoughts? How would you propose to work on a project like this?

The application supports production control, receiving, shipping and traveler creation for our processes. The functionality is limited. And the structure of the data base is unknown to us. We need to either upgrade the application and get it into a version of DataPerfect that is currently supported. Or, extract the data in a structured format to be ported into a new system to be identified or built. I would be interested in corresponding with qualified individuals who would have an interest in consulting on this problem.
