[cfaussie] Re: OT: Moving to Sydney
I would second Internode as well. I have recently moved to TPG though as I can get ADSL2+ and the deal is slightly better. The only down side is customer support isn't as good. It was a little hard to try and talk to a technician about a VPN question when I called up. Email suport is good though.

Customer service, speeds, connection quality have all been exceptional. Also avoid telstra at all costs they will suck you into a contract and are just plain bad value for money and Optus aren't much better. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups cfaussie group.

[cfaussie] Development Options
Hey all, I am two careers removed from my legit coding days, but I still tinker along the edges. As such, I typically find one or two projects each year to keep my fingers in the pie. I am weighing up another one for over the holidays, and would appreciate your opinions on the available options. Commen scenerio, small business wants an application to operate more efficienctly. MYOB is in place, but is found lacking in many areas. Large scope, smallish budget. My leaning from experience is usually straight to Microsoft Access, in that it is quick and relatively stable in single-points of entry situations. My next option is to go online with CF, but the costs are a bit higher and there are some features needed where online is not an option. My question from not being in the middle of the development world: what options are there for small-scale application development?

[cfaussie] Re: Development Options
Rewrite MYOB? Your joking right. If I was doing something small like this I'd use CF or Flex frontend and SQL backend.

[cfaussie] Re: Development Options
I know of someone that thought that it was a great idea to rewrite MYOB in CF. Would have cost him about $100k minimum but he didn't seem to mind. (not enough cents). Any the company closed shop as he realised it didn't help 1 iota. On the bright side, however, there is an MYOB API to their MS Access database. It could be feasable to let let MYOB to what it does and the lacking bits could be written in CF or somethng else.

Also, the free API only gets you read access. You need to be approved as an MYOB developer, and pay the yearly fee, to get write access. -Original Message- From: cfaussie@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Velevitch Sent: Thursday, 21 December 2006 10:54 AM To: cfaussie@googlegroups.com Subject: [cfaussie] Re: Development Options On 12/21/06, Simon Haddon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On the bright side, however, there is an MYOB API to their MS Access database.

To be truely useful, you need to be able automate the updating MYOB. We have been down this path, using MYOB with our own system and you are correct Chris, it is an ODBC connection but it does go directly into their database so you can read things directly just like any other sort of database read. To expand in what you said what is different is that you cannot write to the database, and thinking about it that is very sensible, MYOB protects its data quite strongly, the last thing you need is a corrupted set of books. What you do is write to a temporary table and then go into MYOB and ask it verify the data, if it sees no disparity in field naming, data structure, etc then it imports the data. So it is a fairly painless exercise Kym K --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups cfaussie group.
