FRX is pretty easy to use, but support from Vantage is non-existent there. Call FRx is you have support thru them and you will get very good support.

Epicor found a note for one of the fields but it took FRx support to examine a log file and find the second field. I was informed earlier this week that patch 535 has fixed this problem.
So now the hurdle is for our CFO to learn the report designer.

Try using the default U name and W words of "frx" and "manager"
respectively. I can send you screen shots of the setup if that helps.
Note that 6.5 FRx has many bugs on Vantage and that you will want to update
to 6.7 to get past these. It has taken Epicor TWO months to figure out how
to get that for me, but with some help from FRx it is now on the way. FRx
will not ship it to you, so you must go thru your reseller (I assume Epicor)
to get the update if you need it.

Subject: [Vantage] FRx Setup Questions
I am having a few difficulties getting FRx to work. Has anyone here
installed and configured it successfuly without using a consultant? Did the
3/7/2002 installation guide work as written or are there some "unwritten"
steps that are required?
Specifically in the SQL Server setup of the FRxData database. I can not
connect to it when setting up the DSN and it seems there should be some
users set up for the database. I had this working (up to a point, once)
only after I set up some users (nothing about this in the instructions so I
was guessing at what I was doing). I actually got it to export data once.
But when trying Report Designer and setting the default company it kept
asking for a username and password and nothing worked (not network login,
not Vantage, not sysprogress, not manager/manager, not network
administrator...nothing). It said I need a valid user/pass to log into that
company. The Fabrikam training companies work OK though.
I eventually blew away the FRxData database and started again but now am
stuck with the DSN setup.
If someone has been through this process ahead of me...what am I missing?
Thanks,
