Thanks for the reply - Not what I have (Access) - it is SQL 2000. Votec used Oracle (forget version) and forms were Oracle as well. These guys need to clue in and use something more enterprise rock solid!!
There is something like 2000 pages on regulations and cirtification requirements your product most go through in order to be cirtified by the US Governement. The spec is unreal. I was invovled in this but can't say where. I will say Diebold was a competitor. Local governments don't have the same necessary must have requirements. The main issue is each state has separate laws for voting. You basically need to write software Helen Keller with a 20 IQ can use. That is tough.
When a consultant I reviewed their product suite as well as other vendors such as Votec. They use MS SQL Server and Visual Basic. How funny. I knew their products would fail. Their off the record breagging involved hyping their M$ team and saying they got some of the best minds in the MCSE market!!!! As well they felt my ideas with using Transaction servers with their product suite for verification was a bit a farfetched. Uh huh!! Anyways - it is funny.
Cheers
