I do believe there are a growing number of us out there. There is a lot of potential to expand the capabilities of Sage 100 and make it useful for more businesses. With a little creative tinkering, it has the potential to provide an enormous amount of capability for a for a fraction of the cost of some of the larger ERP players. Sage's insistence on keeping information locked down and pandering to their thoroughly untalented Master Developers seriously limits that potential, though. They are shooting themselves in the foot with this approach. With the subscription model play, I think they may actually be digging Sage 100 a grave.
That being said, the limitations of Sage 100 have created a lot of opportunity for me. By figuring out ways around these limitations I have provided a lot of value as an employee of the companies that I've worked for. My ability to sync business processes with the ERP has allowed me to grow from "database manager" at my current employer into the corporate controller.
But my work would have been a heck of a lot more enjoyable if there was a community with which I could have shared ideas and challenges with. I think this might be an opportunity to grow such a community. You have a great domain name, your approach is one of openness, and you also have brought the added value of your Script BASIC to the table. In the next post I'll introduce one of my front-end systems for Sage 100, and then in the open source forum I'll post a message with some details on my program that mirrors the Sage 100 data in PostgreSQL. I wrote (VB.NET) and compiled it using SharpDevelop, an opensource clone of Visual Studio and of course it is designed to work with PostgreSQL which is also open source.
