I keep track of widgets. I currently use Maptitude to keep track of the location of the widgets, and I use a database to keep track of the information about the widgets, and also to produce reports.
I'm very happy with the maps from Maptitude, and I'm very happy with the reports from the database software. What I would like to do is store all the data in one place, so that as edits are made in one location, they are automatically applied in the other. There are multiple users involved, so importing and exporting isn't really an option. Currently I make new map files and new database files for each job, even if multiple jobs use the same widgets. I'm starting to get in over my head at this point>>> I'm wondering if I used MySQL on a server, if I could use it to maintain all the data, and then use Maptitude to query the server and find the widgets I want to look at (by job number), put them on a map, and save any changes I make back to the database. I envision that the lat/long would be the link, and whatever attributes I needed (widget color, widget size) would come from the database. I would like to be able to make a map with the widgets that are currently identified for the job, and have a method to update the map to show whatever widgets another user identifies for the job. The set of widgets in use changes over the course of a job, and the map needs to be current. Any tips will be greatly appreciated. bob ------------------------ Yahoo!
