- Several years ago, the not-for-profit organization I work at
- bought a custom database package from ECHO Software from Conway New
- Hampshire. One of the four related databases contains a memo field.
- We used to use dBase or FoxPro to access that database to count
- how many records had memos, and how long the memos were. However,
- in a recent upgrade of the package, ECHO apparently utilized
- a third-party thing called Flexfile supplied by Ganahl software of
- Deerfield Beach, Florida. Now we can no longer use dBase or FoxPro
- to access the database that has the memofield in it. ECHO will not
- supply a fix, and says we must go directly to Ganahl and they will
- give us back our access to our data.
-
- My question is, has anyone ever heard of Flexfile or used it? We've
- had trouble contacting the company and ECHO won't provide details on
- what Flexfile does exactly. So if anyone has had any experience
- with this, I would appreciate hearing about it. Thanks in advance.
