Steve, What do they mean when they say integration capabilities? That's an overused word that means lots of different things to lots of different people. I had a client actually giggling this week over one kind of integration: The monstrous DOS applications they have been using for years, and the smaller Windows applications they have been using for fewer years, both showed immediately the data that was entered through the internet by their customers, including credit card payments. (I TOLD them that's what we were doing, but somehow, seeing it happen still tickled them.) Another R:Tango application is automatically sending and receiving files from and to big financial institutions (files in such a format that the people there still call them "tapes." At least they don't call them "cards."). R:Tango is "integrated" with an SSL FTP Client, with lots of batch processes, with Windows COM objects that help R:Tango manage incoming and outgoing faxes, with backups, with email. You can put ASP code or XML code directly into your R:Tango application files. The total hours of effort we put into such things seem to be way less than they are used to, from their own programmers and IT departments working with other products <grin>. My next goal is to try to get R:Tango to convince RBG7 to print some of those incredibly easy PDF file reports, and then have R:Tango present them to the browser client. Not there yet, but we're working on it. Bill
