Hi Pete, Firstly thank you for taking the time to respond to my query. I should have mentioned in my original post, that the file with the list of customer/order details would be an XML file. I do have a question on the above.. what exactly is a CURL request? have you any examples? Do I need anything on my server to enable a CURL request? If so, how much does it cost? Again, many thanks for your help with this, Regards, Fiona

Hi everyone, I'm new to the web game so have loads to learn about lots of things.. so if the questions i ask are stupid.. then i apologise in advance.. I'm looking into building a magento ecommerce site for a customer who has a specific requirement that I be able to extract all customer/order data daily and give it to her CRM. Her words were can i get the databases to talk to each other. Now i know very little about they're CRM but have arranged to talk to someone over there. Anyhow, i feel the best solution is to set up a cron job to run once a day to firstly create a file, that will have all the details on sales/orders and then secondly, will transmit the file to the server hosting their CRM. (The site and the CRM are not on the same server) How does this sound to people? Is it doable? Regards, Fiona
