You do not need the SDK, i've provided examples about this before. Just
search around.

Is anyone out there using the Epicor predefined methods (the same one used in Service Connect) with an external VB.NET program to update Epicor SQL files? I was told I need the SDK to do this, but I'm pretty sure the SDK is not required. I know this is what Service Connect is designed for but for a variety of reasons we would prefer to investigate this other route. Thanks.

You can do the hell outta this.

We usually use C# for this, but I can send you some code if you like. It's
basically the same.

Essentially you just need to bring in the Epicor .dlls. There are two core
dll's and then the ones for whichever business object you want to utilize.

Then you instantiate a session, connect to the server and you're off to the
races.

Depending on what you're doing, you may want to use the webservices instead
of directly accessing the BOs. Web Services are a bit slower, but the
upgrades are much easier.
