define use of barcodes in GP? And Access is not a dirty word. Quick from end when you can't afford a VB person. This is why Artemis slew Orion ERP

Thank you all a lot to digest over the weekend. <grabbing a cold beer> Ah! Time to blue pencil the RPF document. This is why Artemis slew Orion ERP

Thanks Barbola, I know that my users are 150% behind the ERP this time. Last go-around they were sitting on the bench ‘assuming’ everything would be better in a new system. They had no clue that things could, and did get worse. This is a small company with long time employees, so the ‘new...

I'm wondering if since the referenced thread below from 2004 if any new insight has been found in the GP implementation. It is one of three vendors we are focused on, but like every company the implemtation cost are as high as the software. I feel we can run the project well, but don't want...

Not sure, but no longer aborting. Even the printer is back. This is why Artemis slew Orion ERP

Dumb question, but is it wise to access and ‘change’ any data via access or other ODBC tools like TOAD? This is why Artemis slew Orion ERP

Actually, I have a similar problem to the GP aborting. Firstly, I’m running the demo copy for review. When I try to add a new printer, GP aborts. I restart via shortcut and it tells me I’m still running. This indicates to be a very hard crash that didn’t do any garbage clean-up during...

missing DISTINCT? This is why Artemis slew Orion ERP

Segull with Zebra works fine for my exisitng ERP. Not sure if it will feed via GP. The interface is nice since you can go manual and create labels without using the ERP driver from database. Fairly nice print too. Our warehouse printer is near door, and winter/summer has not impacted its...

I'm trying to be nice to Tectura since the last run-in was from a different part of their empire. We has Siebel integration, and all they could talk about was GP, and we were custom ORacle shop. Bad decisions all around, but to say they were bad is giving them credit. I even noted this to...

The part of out-sourcing to India, is that every one there wants to be here working for big bucks. The reality is they are driving the hourly rate down. Perhaps it's more then they get now, but try living on it with a large family, which many will bring with. I feel India as a tech center...

Thanks all. Tectura came in today to discuss the needs. I had already goteen a 90 day copy of GP from MS to play with. We have about 12 power users who are in the app all day, and about 5 users who hit app maybe once a day for quick entry. So mu concurrent number will drop along with...

Thanks all. The cost can range to 500K without much sweat to the bottom line. My headache is getting players involved, not tripping over each other as they walk in the door, and me getting some sleep. I'm also painfully aware that 16 months ago the top 3 players were here, did the wine dine...

I can only assume she would love this monicker: "accounting girl " This is why Artemis slew Orion ERP

HELP!! I have been presented with a task; find a replacement for our ERP within three weeks. Why, Existing application is not living up to promises, and vendor is not forthcoming to fixes. Existing application is hitting one year anniversary in mid-June. I have seen the product SAGE...
