Yeah, I had the feeling some folks took the bait in that direction, particularly once they gave that oh-so-enticing option of SQL Server. I'm particularly amused by this line in the wikipedia page for Progress "Progress Software maintains in house consultants to develop and launch its products." That sounds almost like the PeopleSoft model -- hire sales, outsource R&D, although they seem to "insource" them instead. Sorry you have had to go this route due to what would seem to be a reasonable company decision to continue with the ERP vendor and migrate to their latest offering. I recall a time not too long ago when Epicor was from the top UniData VAR and Datatel was the 2nd. They now both have SQL Server offerings, although to date Datatel's still has UDT in the middle tier AFAIK. --dawn On Wed, Apr 6, 2011 at 11:51 AM, Barry Rogen <bro...@pny.com> wrote: > > Epicor has their "package of the future" which started as Vantage and > is now just called Epicor 9.
