Is anyone using the eBay module? I'm wondering how it works for you.

Thanks.

Has anyone messed with Adept Suite? I have no need to convert to it, but it seems like it could be work for some businesses. They're giving away a 1 user version. I haven't had time to play with it yet, but I'll post what I think of it shortly.

I'd like to start a thread dedicated to backing up MOM.

How do most people deal with backing up open files? Is anyone using Volume Shadow Copy in Windows Server 2003 to backup open files throughout the day? I am currently doing a full backup each night (with no open files), and am using Volume Shadow Copy throughout the day incase of database corruption. Our server has a hardware RAID mirror. Does anyone see any problems with this method? I am not extremely familar with Volume Shadow Copy.

Does anyone have HTML Notice Templates to share? I am going to start taking some designs from www.oswd.com and making them into HTML templates for use in MOM. If anyone has any templates to share, please post them in this thread.

I would like to improve the process of importing of shipment data into Worldship. The problem is that each time the shipment data is exported from MOM, the DBF file that is created gets overwritten. I do not want to have to export from MOM, and then immediately go to my UPS Worldship terminal and import the new information. I would like to use the keyed import function in Worldship to pull up shipment information.

I'm looking for suggestions on what route to take. Does a program exist that will append information from a DBF table onto another DBF? If this exists, I will write a script that polls the import / export directory every minute, and if a new DBF exists, it will append to the DBF that I am using to import from.

If this type of program does not exist, I will write a script that will import the DBF data into a Access database, and then rename the dbf file. I would then use the Access database as the source for the import.

Does anyone do anything similar to this? Can you offer any different suggestions?
