I don't upload data to Vantage, but I do link Vantage to the tooling Vending
Machine. From the Vantage Job Tracker/Operation VBForm I can check the
availability of tooling in the vending machine for the job/operation, or I
can view a history of tooling transactions/withdrawals from the vending
machine for that specific job/operation. We've had the vending machine for
several months now and it is working quite well. I didn't have much luck
with the software's utilities for exporting the data for other uses an
decided to set it up instead as a System DNS. This allowed me to create the
link between the two databases (Vantage and vending machine) and I was able
to design ASP pages for our Intranet so we have real time data displayed of
Vending Machine status and available tooling. I'm sure you could pull the
information into Vantage, the question is how much effort do you want to put
towards it.

Subject: [Vantage] Updating Progress Database
Our Matls Dept is considering a tooling 'vending machine' to be
supplied by a local vendor. The software that tracks the tooling is
able to convert data to CSV, text, excel, word or access.
Our Management Team would like to update the progress database
(specifically, job details) with this tooling information.
Is it possible and/or practical to upload data to the progress
database?
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
