I am trying to link peachtree accounting 2003 to an access operations database. The database is the back end of a proprietary manufacturing systems. I need to create an interface that allows the transfer of information to :

1. Create Sales Orders
2. Create Work Orders <WIP Remove inventory>
3. Close Work Orders <Finished Goods Creation -Create Unique Items of custom Class IE "Truss" >
4. Manage Lumber inventory with conversion to Board feet done in form.

I am a novice programmer. I would like leads to competent individual or any recommendations. Peachtree accounting is overkill for the size of business, but we do need some additional tools in order to get the two systems to communicate. I am considering purchasing PAW from multiware.

PawCOM (http://www.acctadv.com/pawcom) is the tool that you need to connect your Access database to Peachtree. It includes a 200+ page manual, and 1 year of technical support, so it should get you off and running on your project.

Will PAW work with 2000 SQL ? The developers of the propritery software state that will be moving toward the development of a SQL version of their software to make it more robust. The Beta versions API is a Access Project. Can the COM library provided with PAW work .....

PawCom is a general Active-X (or COM) interface to the Peachtree data. As such it can be called from any COM-compatible development tool, so you should be able to write appropriate middleware to tie the proprietary system to Peachtree through PawCom.

Peachtree doesn't have Work Orders so support for that would have to be done externally.
