Hmmmm this is turning into a very interesting thread Thanks Alex for your extended effort with the configurator comparisons I hadn't considered IEE didn't realise it had progressed so far ? How will IEE support hybrid 6.5.x/7.x/8.x systems that include modules only supported by sysDef =09eg MB+ integrators and COM15 gateways The suggestion for me to migrate to FCP's using ICC then change to IEE at a later date looks inviting ? will IEE be any better at back engineering than IACC ? What are the rules for the loopID field when importing a saveAll into IACC/foxCAE/IEE using the loop ID grouping We have only used loop ID as free text but it seems the starting point to improve changing configurators Shaun NZ Steel =0A=0ANOTICE - This message and any attached files may contain informatio= n that is confidential and intended only for use by the intended recipien= t.
