Integrating the Progress database with a 3rd party database

[mwoudszer]

I am trying to integrate two different databases to transfer credit card information. I'm using Transcend and Progress and I need to take the information from my progress client database and import it into the Transcend client database (information such as card numbers, names, addresses, etc). I need this information placed into the Transcend database to process credit card transactions.

If any one knows how I could link these two programs/databases it'd be greatly appreciated...pretty much they just need to share one directory which they can both pull information from and store it to.

Thanks,
Matt

Head scratchin here. Why are you going to the trouble? There is an easier way, no need to do all the hard work. The method I propose is the simply to use a third party, somebody who does all the hard work for you. I recommend the PayPal process. I advise letting somebody else do all the hard work. Once you recieve a confirmation email that funds have been transferred to your account you are good to go!!! Simply code for scanning an inbox, once a message is recieved from destination paypal funds have been credited.
Hope this helps.

mwoudszer,

I've got no idea about Transcend database but I suppose it can import data in cvs format, in that case you can either standard progress dump function or write your own one to dump necessary data into the cvs file.
