Don - Funny you should ask ... Since Boeing is already a customer there is
nothing to buy (unless you would like some training) ;-)

DataExpress (aka UDALink aka the Swiss Army knife of data extraction and
transformation) can read Suprtool subfiles - choose self describing file type
as input and it can read and write Cognos SelfDescribing files (Version 8.xx
currently) which QTP should be able to read ... thus allowing the conversion
...

If you are planning to move to an NT server we can use the ODBC part of UDALink
to automatically load a SQL-Server database with 2 phase commit and roll-back.

If you would like to know more about the JDBCLink we have added to UDALink
please let me know ... as you probably figured out UDA=Universal Data Access
and that is our goal!
