Industry was MFG Sales Rep. It was for determining your projected sales for a variety of inventory items from a specific manufacturer. This was required by them, and if you failed to submit the form you would loose this MFG from you list of lines you carried. I see how easily you cast blame on one company and bullshit saying that everything non M$ is the only way to go. In this case we tried that and killed 10 hours or so to attempt to save a friend from buying Office. So only I lost 10 hrs and he went and bought office because we were trying to be cheap. So in the end just as a version change in an existing product can bite you, so can switching to a different vendor for the same type of product. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Web and Windows Development Independent Contractor Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/c4313dbe0904150851u162f7f8br6820e2d18cb12...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
