I have a VB program that runs on an access database. Is there anyway that I can merge that into the peachtree database? I have users that end up typing in parts and prices twice. I would rather them only have to do it once on the VB program and then have VB post to the Peachtree DB or else have Peachtree look to a temp DB and read off the info.

Can anyone shed some light for me?

Thanks in advance!

You have three options for inserting data into Peachtree

- PawCOM from www.multiwareinc.com
- Creating comma-separated-value files that the user manually imports
- Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)

CSV files and DDE are somewhat documented in Peachtree, although there are tricks of the trade for implementing both. PawCOM is actively supported by its developer.

Hope this helps!
