Web based application

[Jose Lerebours]

It is PHP & MySQL.  It is not a filePro front end.

Not trying to re-invent anything at all but glad to know about shortcomings
before I waste my time ...

It is meant to be both, an accounting and a warehousing application with
Procurement Management and Transportation.

I like the idea of fpODBC to help transform legacy applications.

Sure there are some of you that target warehousing, transportation,
procurement and may be interested in parallel applications to market !!??
;-)


Regards,


Jose
