My suggestion is to either tie both systems to a single sql data source or build a web based pos system that is tied to the same webcat db that your web site is using. It's not that difficult to build a custom admin template that contains all the form elements you need to do a sale in-store and even return a printable invoice. Not exactly an answer to your question, but I've done quite a lot of consulting in this area and in most cases, this sort of scenario is an eventuality. It's just hard to get the client over some of the initial obstacles or perception there of.As for your specific question, I think being storebuilder specific it should best be answered by someone at SM.Mike ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
