Does anyone know anything about writing a VB
front-end for a PBX system?
Is it possible to get, for example, a "call start date/time"
value from the PBX system and show it on a VB screen
which would then be saved in a MS SQL 7 database?
(The application will be run on Win98.)
Any help -- suggestions, web page referals ... anything
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Don't you have a Person to enter call start stop times in to a VB program ??
Are you meaning to say...that you want automate the
process without human aid ???
They want the call start and stop times to be gotten from the pbx while the users enters in other data (ie. password, number requested, etc.)
A second option would be to get a unique call id from the pbx and then have a day-end process to match up call id #s and get the start and stop times.
Possible?
After some research they've decided to have operators manually enter data and then run a reconciliation program at day-end to find the dates and times (not sure how I'm gonna pull that off ...).
Thanks for all your input.
at the risk of sounding dumb (well not really a big risk for me) but what is a PBX system?
Hi
Basically PBX stands for private branch exchange.
It is the box where the main phone line(s) is terminated and sereval phones call all be connected with different phone numbers.
I could go on but it would just bore you :)
