Dumping data into ACCESS

Post by hexdj »

Hi guys,

I have a project and my clients want to have their own CMS, of course my first pick is CMS MS. I need to know if it's possible to export some of the data (that is being captured by forms) into an Access database, automatically, how complex would that be?

I have also looked at the newsletter module but it seems to be at an early stage right now, are there any other options?. I would absolutely prefer if I could do it all with CMSMS, but if it's too complicated what other CMSs would you guys recommend?

Thanks
tsw

you dont need to dump the data for access. last time I checked access can connect directly to mysql db.. (but using access is never really a good option imho)

afaik newsletter module is quite complete, if you find bugs please add them to the forge tracker so we can take a look at them

Thanks for your reply,

I will look into Access opening my database directly. Do you know if it would be a better option to do it thru FileMaker? the new version seems to be able to connect to a MySQL database as well.

The main thing I am missing in Newsletter is exporting, even if it's a simple comma separated file.
