Thank you for the quick reply! That's good news. I'll check those out right away.
I'll be doing this with ColdFusion and MS SQL Server 2000, to stay in my comfort zone. On the plus side, this means my app will be web-accessible for point-edits on the road. On the downside, syncing with the scanner will take a low-fi approach - write CSV files in the format used by UASD, copy and paste to the UASD folder and sync.
The other thing I'm looking forward to playing with is locations. I've setup a table with multi-point locations. For example, a large county might be described in three 50-mile circles. When I export from the database, I'll get the number of duplicate system programs appropriate for the selected location.
And, it'll be nice to change alarms, lockouts, quick keys, tags, etc., en masse by way of queries, rather than plodding along line by line.
We'll see how far I get....
Thanks again!
