Hi All,

Does anyone know how to write a advanced revelation program?

I need a data convertion program from Arev to dbf (nothing fancy, no
multi-value, infact the guy who wrote the program follow my data format in
dbf). I have Arev programming access but dont want to waste time doing it
and i would rather pay someone else to do it.

If you know and interested, please quote me a price. If you know someone
can do it, please pass me the contact?

TIA

Frankie

I would think the easiest would be to purchase an off-the-shelf (OTS) data 
conversion for ARev, like "xPort for Advanced Revelation" or something 
similar, which will not require any programming and will create the DBF 
files for you. I haven't had to deal with ARev yet, but I have done a lot 
of conversion programs for various products to convert the data of our 
competitors when we do an installation. If an OTS solution exists, it is 
always much preferable! I found "xPort" by googling "advanced revelation 
arev format" and the program sells for just $250 -- much cheaper than any 
outsourced custom program would probably be. Hope that helps,

-- Andreas

Hi Andreas,

I did send email to xPort but till now there is no reply. But i did get
quite a lot of response from others. Some even quoted me 5000 pounds which
is way beyong my budget. Another person quoted me US250 which is
reasonable. 

But now i've learn some of the Arev menu system from rest of response and i
have managed to export data to dbf successfully.

Since i am half way to the goal already. I might try to see if i can
complete the job myself. 

But it is hard to believe the forum size of Arev which is so small compare
to Alaska. Maybe the forum i am able to join is located in Austrilia only
and i am not able to see anything from US region since i cant get a login
confirmation from their admin even after i registered.

But thanks for the headup

Frankie

Is there a SQL interface? You could use my SQLDBU program

Hi Jim,

Yes there is. But i need to ask a foolish question. How do i select the
table using SQL? To be honest, SQL is still totally new to me. Maybe this
is the time to pickup. =

My SQLDBU program is somewhat like the old clipper DBU. It just works
against the SQL data instead of DBFs.

You must log on to the server and your user credentials must be high
enough to read the tables. But you just select a table and export it.

SQL is well worth learning.
