On Line Order Manager

[wmgilligan]

I have a client that needs to be able to manage his orders from multiple locations. I suggested Order Manager, but he is looking for something he can use on-line.

Any suggestions anyone?

Could take a look at the Enterprise level Order Manager. Client could set up the SQL Server back end to be accessible from the web, set up an ODBC connection on the clients to point to the server. This does introduce additional security concerns for the server and may have some performance issues based on internet connectivity at the various client locations but will allow the data to be accessible from anywhere.

Client may also look at using Terminal Services as well. Only downside to this is a separate client install for each user logging in to the server. Have a couple clients that do this already.

The eneterprise version is cost prohibitive at this time.

If it's an issue of just pulling up orders and flagging for shipping, etc. you could also spit data out of Order Manager and update it to the server (via a batch file). On online db could allow for updating a record and then someone at the office could grab it back down.
