All,

Does anyone know of a way or if its even possible to access the data contained in MIMS w/o using the e-services web interface?

For example, I would like to display a contact list for all the members of my unit (with data that IS in MIMS) along with each persons position within the squadron (which ISN'T in MIMS) on the same web page.  To do this, I'd love to be able to code up a php script that can access the MIMS database and pull out the information and only the information I want.

I'm just now getting into this project so if anyone has any helpful advice I'd love to hear it.

Thanks,

Eclipse

Contact Pete Anderson:  pla@panderSys.com heis parsing MIMS data for the WMU and may know the secret handshake.

Try the CAPWATCH download application in eServices.  It allows you to download most data in an access database that can be used to build whatever queries you would like.  Use Member and MbrContact linked with the CAPID to sort contact and basic member info.
