Well mike, you are helping me that's for sure. I kinda meant the goal for your backup system that you talked about previously but you already covered it i guess. Are you now just improving the usability of your company's system by adding the interface? Or are you trying to make a replication and backup system for total newbies. (i.e. point and click with no coding)

I'm planning to use the mirror of my salesforce data on my own site and let users modify it, then update the data back to salesforce. I thought you might still be developing your own systems for your business which could be pretty different from what we need.

Anyways I'll add my msn to my account and we can talk.

Ahh sorry for the misrepresentation, my usual problem, LOL


I want to improve the application that I released to not only create the database, but to be able to perform the downloads. I guess this is more for total newbies and the point and click thingy, but at the same time share the coding with others.


and who knows, you look at one of my coding examples or vice versa, or another developer then a new idea may pop into your head or mine

I guess that is all, I just like helping people!

No don't apologise, there's no problem at all. It's hard to get your point across on message boards I find.

The point-and-click app sounds like it would be great, but also by making it that modular we should be able to modify it more easily to work in or with other apps as well. Just making it more versatile I guess.

I agree that it's great to have people to bounce (or steal) ideas off. Hopefully more people will join in too. There must be more people wanting to use php with salesforce. I thought it was weird that most of the examples are in Java or C#.

I added you on msn btw. Speak to you soon.

Drew.

Yeah there are a few more PHP developers that I know of. David Claiborne is a top notch coder who has taught me a lot. there is Scott Hemmeter from Arrowpointe, and Redsummit on the salesforce forums seems to know what they are doing, more so than me

David has helped me TONS and is really a wealth of knowledge

I hope one day he joins here and then adds some stuff

anyway catch you later Drew, thanks for all the chat
