Import/Export Query

[Louise Weed]

Right now, we use DDE to transfer the invoice data from our own custom written company program (written in Visual Basic 5) to the Peachtree Accounts Receivable. When a customer pays an invoice we enter the payment in Accounts Receivable then using DDE we transfer the information from Accounts Receivable back into our own program.

Does anyone know for sure if this area has been changed in Peachtree 2003 that would prevent our continuing the transfers as we are now doing?

I don't want to have to PAY a computer programmer to come in and re-write our custom program everytime Peachtree comes out with a new version. IF Peachtree as not changed the import / export area then I won't have a problem. I'd just like to know before I purchase. Anyone know the answer to this

Peachtree isn't shipping the software yet, so you'd be better off reposting your question in a couple weeks, once it's hit the street. Also, you can always take advantage of Peachtree's 60 day return policy. Finally, regardless of what advice you get from this forum, you need to do a test installation on one your machines to confirm that your application works properly before you convert all of your data and inadvertantly cripple your accounting operations if an incompatibility does exist.

Thanks David, I thought 2003 was already in use as I have seen it in the office supply stores. Maybe I was looking at 2002.

I will file your solution in my P.T file and use it then, when the time comes.

Thanks again! Louise
