There is a simple API written in Progress available at sprolinux.com that allows you (with Progress code) to drop data to Excel cells, or grab data from Excel cells. It's actually part of a for-sale product to use Excel to enhance MFG/Pro reports, but surely they would work with you if you just...

Yeah, I saw the thread age, but I thought others or yourself might benefit from knowing the possibilities with customization. I'm glad to hear you're on track with your system. Frankly, some of our coolest stuff is all custom. While MFG/Pro is a great "base", it sometimes takes a good...

We are using Transform (www.sprolinux.com) and love it as well. Not as big a name as some others but very nice. QAD reports straight to Excel, email, fax, barcode.. plus printer redirection for GDI/Host-based printers and secondary processing (run a .p when a particular report prints, etc)...

I've used this little .W template in the past. It wont run inside the UIB, but it will compile and run in MFG/Pro. Add your own widgets and modify the procedures to run a query of your choice.

We do this, but its all custom. We have devised our own program to replace QAD MRP. Our program calculates all scheduled and discreet orders (entered via EDI or custom CIM schedule import), then compares against inventory onhand + wip. It creates work-orders for just-in-time delivery, then...

The only way I've been able to do this is by using a 3rd party product called Transform (www.sprolinux.com). By configuring it's bounce feature, we've been able to redirect printouts to other printers.. and this provides an opportunity to setup special printer instances (on the Windows...

Many of the newer Windows USB and GDI printers dont work well or at all with MFG/Pro, BUT there is still an option! A 3rd party product exists which is primarily a report enhancer similar to Optio, but alot cheaper (sending MFG report output to Excel,email,fax or barcode. The product is called...

I do this (on Windows) Use following command (dlc,dlc/bin must be in OS PATH): _mprshut dbname -N tcp -H servername -S servicename ..this will launch the commandline shutdown process, but you dont actually have to shutdown the database. It will display a list of users and will offer a...

I have had similar issue with GS Telnet Server. In my case, the issue was that often, disconnected sessions on the server did not completely disconnect all associated processes (like _progres.exe and any commands related to it in your startup scripts, like cmd.exe, pause, choice.exe, etc).. so...

"...3rd parties not needed" ..true, but some people just dont want to deal with learning Progress or MFG/Pro to such a high technical level. Try "Transform" , a stream-based converter to XL, email, fax and barcode, etc. www.sprolinux.com. Better customization of output than simple CSV...

.csv will certainly get into a format that excel can read, but this is dependent on a couple of things.. 1. .csv must be associated with excel.. this is default as far as I know, but thats not to say that something else might not be associated with .csv on your system (this is a 'per-system'...

Hello- If you're not willing or able to develop interfaces yourself, you might want to check out "Transform". I am the lead developer of this Progress based product which is a mapping tool that was specifically designed for MFGPro but also works with any system which produces text-based...
