That can work for orders, particulary if you write out
the order in some <SGMLish>kind of way</SGMLish> so your
receiving program can parse it. But what about
updating products and auxiliary tables? I don't know
if QB can do anything with auxiliary tables at all, let
alone products, but if it can, then
QB <-> ODBC <-> mySQL (or some other real DB) <-> minivend
gives you a two way street real time.
