Dentrix FMP Integration

[bb84604]

I am looking to hook up a live (or close to it) connection to some dental management software: Dentrix, Eaglesoft. I want to be able to pull data and ideally push as well. I was thinking ODBC, but this software doesn't support it.

This may be over my head (I'm no hard-core developer), but I'm at least hoping to understand if it can be done and the basic concept of how it would be. Dentrix is reputed to try and "lock up" their data, but I know there are several other companies that have found a way to integrate with it successfully (SmileReminder, DemandForce).

Any direction would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Find out what platform Dentrix is built on. If it is any flavour of SQL or Sybase then ODBC is the way to go even if it's not "officially" supported.

Whilst you're asking questions, find out what the Dentrix end user licence agreement has to say about gaining access to the database by the back door :-)

bb84604, have you had any luck with this?

by the way, the Dentrix database is encrypted using C-tree plus databasing.
