Training and open source
Hello,
Thank you all for your advice. It has been helpful to read you. I think we will be looking into open source data integration as it seems to be the most flexible option in regards to our business. A question: what are the assistance and training capabilities open source software gives to their users? We have downloaded a few solutions - downloads include Talend we are enjoying - we are testing and feel that one day, we might need a better insight of the software. Thank you for your help.

Training and open source
Your question may be better answered in a newsgroup appropriate to your problem. Considering your post though, I would suggest that you reconsider your alternatives. There are very few open source databases available for commercial use, and all of those have rudimentary functionality. Further, the only open source front-end software that I am aware of, will with a very experienced programmer take at least 6 times as long to design as an Access front-end. This newsgroup is dedicated to the Microsoft Access database product. The Microsoft website may have misdirected you. -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com "Guertas" wrote in message ...

Training and open source
Open source is an interesting solution. And support and training can be given
when you use an open source solution. When using an open source software, you can get support and training. You can also get some free community support from community forums.
