How can Facil be interfaced to other external systems, like event controllers, bulletin board systems, or accounting programs?
Because Facil uses Microsoft Access data files, it is possible to work with that data outside of Facil. Access, or any other programming tool that supports ODBC database connectivity, can directly read the Access files. Becker Software can provide an Access framework file (MyFacl) that provides the ability to easily link your reports and queries to a current copy of the Facil data. This will allow you to develop your own Access queries or reports, save them within this framework, and reuse them without interfering with Facil, without owning the source code, without exposing the actual shared data files to risk, and without causing problems when Facil is updated. Whatever external system you want to interface to, be it an event controller, a bulletin board, or an accounting system, the concept is the same. You must know what format the data needs to be in for the external system. For example, a system may accept specifically arranged text files or it may accept data files in Access form
