Thank you Dominique for your help. I need an explanation for how to use standard Tryton modules (hopefully I have selected the correct modules). I am trying to migrate product data from Parts&Vendors[1] to Tryton, using standard Tryton modules and the Tryton client. I am not trying to develop a new Tryton module (at least not yet). I want to first understand how to use Tryton: 1. Manually enter data for several parts (products) with equivalent data to that stored in Parts&Vendors. 2. Manually enter a bill of materials in Tryton with equivalent data to that stored in in Parts&Vendors. Parts&Vendors stores most data about a part as a text column in its "PN" table, such as PartNumber, Title, Detail, Date, Revision, RequestedBy, Notes, and PNUser1 to PNUser10 (10 user-defined text fields). There are also several foreign-key columns referencing data tables, including Type (one of 5 pre-defined types) and Status (one of 3 pre-defined status). So far as I understand Tryton, P&V "Title" == Tryton "Name", P&V "PartNumber" == Tryton "Code", and P&V "Notes" == Tryton "Detail", but I don't understand how to create new arbitrary attributes in Tryton for the other part attributes in Parts&Vendors. Can you give me a basic step-by-step to get started? I expect my trouble is mostly caused by not correctly understanding the intended use of the Tryton client, and I just need to get over the initial learning hill. [1] Parts&Vendors(TM) is a multi-user app, with a VisualBasic desktop client and MS Access (Jet)-type database file stored on a file share. http://www.trilogydesign.com/
