MAS 90 ODBC connection on MAC for reporting purposes

[valkyry]

Is that possbile? Our mktg team uses MACINTOSH systems and I know that you can't use MAS 200 on MACs, which they are fine with but needs to be able to run reports.

Any ideas???

What kind of reports? Mas90/Mas200 canned reports or crystal reports or what? Software Support for Sage Mas90, Macola, Crystal Reports, Goldmine and MS Office

Crystal reports using the ODBC connection to MAS 200 data files.

Is the mac a valid Mas200 worktation? Or does it talk to the network at all? I have never heard of this. Software Support for Sage Mas90, Macola, Crystal Reports, Goldmine and MS Office

It seems that you can't use MAS 200 or a lot of softwares are not compatible on MACs without something like CITRIX.

I was trying to see if the MAC can use the ODBC connection b/c the users just want to run reports. But you can the ODBC connection to MAS 200 data files by loading MAS 200. Like running the workstation set-up.

Oh well. Unless you know another way to do that and it can be done.

We're out of luck on this.

Thanks a bunch!

I posted this issue on the Crystal Reports main forum. maybe there will be a response. I am one of the top experts in that forum, but this is a new one on me.


you could set up a report distribution via email with crystal enterprise or crystal info and email them reports automatically. But we will have to wait and see on the on-demand reports. Hopefully like I said someone out there will respond to my post.
