   Be aware we have [1]www.xaeigroup.com for this sort of chatter too. We
   have a System link forum there.

     I think System-links primary advantage is the ability to provide a
     single point of control for business logic.  In other words, System-link
     uses the client architecture and therefore uses all of the defaults and
     edits defined in Integrator.  When .NET touches the files directly, it
     has none of the business logic except the restraints put in at the DB
     level (primary key, unique, etc).

     Even if the primary function of your applications is to report, and not
     maintain data, there are significant advantages to using systemlink.  It
     is easy to develop a "query" in Power link and export that to System
     link.  In that way you can ensure that various different uses of the
     data operate on the same data sets.

     To date, I've always copied and modified the System link request that
     you get from the menu option.  I thought I remembered seeing the ability
     to use named views and subsets, is that available, or did I just make
     that up and start believing in it?

     Currently we have many apps developed with .NET and VB6 and Access/SQL
     databases that interface with the Mapics DB.

     What advantages/disadvantages would System-Link provide us?
