integration

[g11ary]

Hi guys
Ive just bought a garage and they run a nice system that does everything we need for running a garage.
It uses an SQL database.

Is there a way that we can integrate our Actinic on line stores (6 of them) so we only have 1 database for stock.

ie can a customer order on line with actinic and have a customer in the workshop having his car serviced and the stock used all be taken off 1 database????

That'd be a minor miracle, Actinic's strengths are not in those areas i'm afraid.

Could you not link your Actinic stock level fields to the relevant SQL stock level database table|field using the External link tool in Actinic.
I have had Actinic sites sync'ing stock levels from SQL databases before - even updating backwards and forwards between the two datasources.

Can't see why this model could not be extended across 6 Actinic sites.
The issue you would have is if the "live" stock levels were required to be accurate on all 6 sites then you'd be updating constantly across all 6 sites. Jan's Mole End OneStop moles would come in handy here.
