It is not a retail product, I wouldn't even think of asking about it if it were. It is a one-time data transformation of our data that isn't working properly in a test environment, something that was written just for us to use. We pay these folks a LOT of money to use their system, and we are trying to restructure our data to fit better with our new accounting system. (that they recommended and interface with). They've sent several revisions of this utility to us and the IT manager is unhappy with the progress and wants me to look at it.
It is a bad idea IMHO. Their data structure is very complex (originally designed 15 years ago, and the folks who designed it are long gone - and the tables are not documented) covering 300+ tables. They are having issues with it and understand the data structure, imagine what it will be like for me to figure out what is wrong. but what do I know, I'm just a lowly "coder" here... set RANT-MODE = off Ls -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Frank Cazabon Sent: Friday, February 17, 2012 3:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: VFP9 Decompiler Wow!
