[mv] An automation problem

["rattan mann" <rattanmann@hotmail.com>]

******    message to minivend-users from "rattan mann" <rattanmann@hotmail.com>     ******

Dear sirs,

I am writing this letter from a small company in Norway because the people 
who configured our minivend have all left long ago without leaving their 
addresses behind.So people like me who have just a few weeks "experience" 
with minivend are left to tackle this problem.

We are using minivend version 4.04.

When our company receives an order via e-mail we have to create
invoice(faktura) and address form (adresse lapp) manually.This has led to
a great backlog of unfulfilled orders and so we want this process
to be automated.For this we have come up with the following suggestion:

Instead of writing a report (minivend/ourminivend/etc/report)to a text
file we write this report to the database from where this process can be
automated.We use MySql database.

This implies creating a table called orders with fields like ordredato,
ordrenummer,lead source etc.in MySql and inserting the following code in 
etc/report:

[tag]
[set import_status]
[import table=orders type=LINE continue=NOTES]
[scratch order_text]
[/tag]

But when we use this we always get the error that the orders table does not 
exist.

I request anybody who can help to write to me so that I can give more
details if necessary.

Tons of thanks in advance.

Rattan Mann
