Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
General
I need a certain feature, can this be added?
Acclamare and Net*Connect are continually adding new features and capabilities, so if there is a feature that you need, let us know about it!

If it is a very specific feature, we have programming staff on hand as well as source code to make the modifications you require.

Acclamare and all the Advantage products are based on the Microsoft stack of technologies -- .NET and Microsoft SQL Server.
