Hi,
I am needing to extract data from 3rd party accounting software packages and then send the information in xml format.
Has anyone a script to get me started? The extraction process is the most important part.
Information required is:

Debtor details, Invoice details, payment details.

yeah, me too. I'm looking to scam some credit card numbers because my computer hardware addiction is getting too expensive. Any pointers guys?

:wink: :lol:

Nice thought!! but not quite what I had in mind!.
This is a genuine request, and if feasible, would result in multiple purchases of Girder!

well it really depends on the software that you are using. Without knowing that noone can help really. Also please give it a try yourself :-)

Hi Ron,

The software varies, the common element (I guess) is that they use ODBC Drivers. This opens access to the files - normally *.dat files.

Further to my previous post, $'s are available for the development. Confidentiality means I can not explain in too much detail in an open forum. :wink:
