I have know Bob Walraven from the time I bought one of the earliest versions of PAWCom (or PAWet as it was called then). Bob has a deep understanding of peachtree's data structures and logic because he had to reverse-engineer his way into the data. In those days we were having some difficulty with the inventory cost data.
Thanks to all that trial and error reverse engineering, Bob is probably the most knowledgeable person outside the company. Even so, I am sure there are a few things that are grey areas to him as well. Inspite of being a recognized PT partner and all, there are still a few things about their data that the PT folks just do not reveal.

: : Thank you for the replies. I'll look at the Multiwareinc : product to see if it will help. The SDK is available, and : it is free -- kind of. You have to register, give a lot of : confidential information, and then they will contact you. : My take on it is that it is for major players, not a : programmer doing some limited work for an accounting firm. : Besides, I don't know that the SDK documentation is any : better than the product documentation. The : reason it has been a pain is the poor documentation supplied : by Peachtree. To use a car analogy, they describe all the : controls on the car, but not how to drive it. They could do : better. : : I tried the Import/Export idea, but found that many of the : tables used are not exposed to Crystal. I have found most : of the data in JrnlRow table, but getting there is not very : straight forward (see comments above). : : Dave, :
