[AccessD] JobBOSS Database - Access 2007 Reporting

[Rocky Smolin]

If that's the case, and the developer(s) used descriptive table and field
names, it should be pretty easy to identify where the fields are that have
the data they want.

Rocky,

I don't know much about it.

In fact, I have not ever seen it work.  My friend just mentioned it and I
did a little digging on the internet.  I don't know what language was used
to build it.  

However, it appears that the database is Microsoft SQL Server, so the data
should be available via ODBC.

Thanks,
Brad

I'm familiar with it but only from the outside as it competed indirectly
with my MRP product.  What was it written in?

All,

A friend of mine recently started work for a small (30 person) metal
fabrication firm that uses a purchased package called JobBOSS.  He is not
satisfied with the built-in JobBOSS reports and has asked me if there is
perhaps a better way to pull data from the JobBOSS database and create
custom reports.

I would like to use Access to create reports by pulling data from the
JobBOSS database via ODBC.

Has anyone ever worked with this database?

Thanks,

Brad
