MikeP's right on...Germany company KALK = CALCIt was amazing how he was talking about it ... you'd think this thing would actually make us make money...then when I asked whats the backend..hes like all the data's there in EXCEL.GULP!!And we are going to use this???? Ya we just need to extract the data into SQL and use it...ya right I ain't doing it!This project failed 2 years ago when we started it because there was no functional spec, then they went back to using some cheap excel sheet...Then they have the folks in Bremmen Germany whip it up in EXCEL again? That's what I call WWIII
