I'm trying to do away with PDF reports on our APA league website and use database statistics instead. Does anyone know what FMS database files I need to use and export? I can write all the necessary code and queries needed to accomplish this task.

Thanks,

Are you just trying to make it searchable or something?

Our LOs site has PDFs - it seems to work fine, as you can fire it up and do searches within.

Our previous LO (who recently sold his area to the current LOs) did it all with Crystal Reports. He's probably got half-decent knowledge of the data files involved. If you want, send me an PM with your email address, and I'll pass it on to him, and see if he'll get in touch and maybe give you some nudges in the right direction.
 
First ...

FMS stands for what? And Second, everything you need to do with league
can be done with ACCESS database that comes with Windows XP Pro. Plus it is compatible with Excel and Word. (export and import).

Some of our leagues around here uses a 3rd party website strictly for league standings and statistics. It can accomodate different types of leagues. The data is viewable/printable through the internet about 3 days before you are due to play again.
 
I don't think he's looking to change anything with the management software - he just wants to get at the data it uses.
 
Yeah, no changing of the software. I just want grab the database files (I think dBASE III) that hold the stats and import them into MySQL to execute some queries on the web. It'll be alot cleaner and easier for the league operators to maintain the player/team stats.
