Sounds like a perfect project for GNUEnterpise. He could have Windows clients on a GNUe backend running on Linux. Check it out at gnue.org.

He is in the process of moving to another building because of his growth/success. His entire business operates on thousands and thousands of Excel spreadsheets. Every time you go to sell a fixture(s) a spreadsheet is created from a template, and that becomes the scratch sheet for a bid, then the invoice. It really is ugly. He knows it is time to consider other options before this system implodes on itself. Personally, I would like to see a PostGreSQL or MySQL backend to either a Perl or PHP web interface. We are wide open for suggestions. This includes commercial software as well. He has been a die-hard Windows fan/user, however, he would consider other options providing it meets his business needs and budget. I would like to hear some suggestions providing they are in the context of this project. v/r -mike --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss >
