How to create Departments and assign users to each in Seratec Central 8.2.1 - myob

I'm trying to create new Departments and assign my company users to each department without touching the Database and only using the Central window. However I cannot edit existing department or add any new department to it. It would be great, if someone can help me with this.
Version: Seratec Central 8.2.1

Seratec Central was written by Seratec Pty Ltd and interacts with MYOB software such as AccountRight via APIs and is a 3rd party integration; it is not AFAIK owned or maintained by MYOB[*].
Their website is down and I suspect the operation has folded.
I would suggest you try and find other Seratec users perhaps via LinkedIn or the MYOB community forums.
[*] I could be wrong

How do I create access control

Hi I am new to oracle express application and I am having trouble trying to create access control for different levels of users. I am not the admin, I am just the developer and cannot create users.
So far I have zero users. I want to create users. Not sure if it is possible. I don't have the function available.
The image below shows an error. Don't know how to solve this. I am assuming it is not possible to create access control if I don't have users. I am not sure.
This won't help you right now, and I know you're not in control of this, but you should encourage your teacher or administrators to update the version of Oracle APEX which is being used.
The version you're using (APEX 5.0) implemented access control by creating a table in your database schema. In newer versions of APEX, local access control is embedded as part of the framework itself.
Your instructions may be using a specific curriculum associated with this version of APEX, and it would be time-consuming to update. But please do let them know for future classes that Oracle does provide a completely free curriculum, with a permissive use license.
Here is more information about the curriculum, and here was the blog announcement.

Can a desktop app update your websites database?

This is a hypothetical question that I don't seem to be able to find an answer to. In theory, could you write a desktop program which allows you to alter the database of a personal website? A simple example would be a blog, where instead of having to go online and log into Admin section of your website, you would have a desktop app where you could write a blog offline and once you have internet it would automatically update your website?
Would this theoretically be possible?
Yes, it is possible. However, probably not recommended as you would have to allow direct connections to your database through the firewall unless your desktop application made the same http/https pots that the website does when updating the database. At that point, you're just creating a new UI that calls the old UI to do the same actions.
If you are running Windows you could use the free tool Microsoft Live Writer for that. I am sure you can find other free tools for other OS out there.
There is not also an Open Source version of it Open Live Writer

I want to add some functionality to my family portal for that i am designing database

I would create & maintain the Directory of the entire particular Community. Each family would be able to add/update its details and would be able to link to other families too. This would be worldwide.
There must be one head who can add/update details of all family members.
msaccess is probably not the right tool for this job becuase it is mainly design for desktop application. I suggest you have a look at webtrees (https://www.webtrees.net/index.php/en/). They have a free platform that you can download and install on a web server so that everyone with internet connection can have access. It's password protected so you can control who access. If you do not have a web host you can download easyphp (http://www.easyphp.org/download.php) that you can install on your desktop to act as a virtual server. Otherwise if you search the web you should be able to get a webhost and domain name for about $40 a year.

QuickBooks connection using asp

May not be the best place to ask sorry if that's true.
I have worked on SQL and while I never worked on QuickBooks I am hoping it is possible to connect to it and just use it similar to a SQL Database. I am wondering I am wondering if it is possible to connect to QuickBooks using ASP. My purpose is to create simple forms and insert the data into QuickBooks similar to what is done on SQL.Occasionally I would just generate reports as well using web pages. All I am wondering is does ASP have the capability to connect to Quick Books and if so can I also run query's similar to SQL and is there any sources or reference available for research ? And what my options are for setting this up. If I have to use asp.net as a last resort that is fine too, though I would prefer to have to be without it.
Thank you
Update #1
While i am working on getting the Version of Quick-Books here is what information I have.
I plan on using ASP-Classic, and I want to develop web forms so this would be a website that can be accessed. This will not be a desktop application I plan on making but various webpage's where you can view Quick-books data, and insert records into Quick-books using forms, similar to what I do for SQL. And the Version of our Quick-Books is 2013 Enterprise Windows Desktop USA edition.
All I am wondering is does ASP have the capability to connect to Quick Books
Yes.
can I also run query's similar to SQL
Maybe.
QuickBooks itself does not provide an SQL-based interface. Communication with QuickBooks is via XML. However, QuickBooks Enterprise comes with something called QODBC which provides an ODBC interface to the XML interface QuickBooks provides, which might get you what you need.
One problem you want to watch out for -- there are times when you won't be able to connect to QuickBooks. e.g. it is not an "always-on" solution like a typical SQL database is. If you're in single-user mode in QuickBooks, or someone closes QuickBooks, or someone is doing a QuickBooks backup, or someone is updating QuickBooks, then you won't be able to connect. You'll have to plan for this in your application.
A better solution might be to use the QuickBooks SDK (specifically the QuickBooks Web Connector). If you download and install the SDK there is example code included. The SDK install also includes about 600 pages of PDF documentation on topics which you are asking about.
Striking out the below stuff since you've provided more details now: But unfortunately you didn't provide anywhere near enough information for anyone to actually give you a decent answer.
How about providing some actual details so that people can actually help you? Like, maybe:
Is this QuickBooks ONLINE, or QuickBooks for WINDOWS, or QuickBooks for MAC? (they are three entirely separate products, with entirely separate sets of capabilities)
What version/year/edition/country of QuickBooks?
ASP classic or ASP.NET?
Is this a website you're connecting from, or is this a desktop application, or...?

How to install DotNetNuke so I can migrate existing users?

I'm doing a fresh install of DNN 6.0.
I have an existing 4.x site with thousands of users, and my goal is to copy the users from the old database to the new one with some SQL queries. Of course the two sites must have the same machineKey.
I thought I had to set the machineKey value before running the installer, but then installation process overwrites it.
If I change the machineKey after running the installer, I can't access the host login created during the install process.
What am I missing?
I'm willing to use a third-party migration tool, but note that I'm not moving users between portals, I'm moving them between websites.
If it matters, I'm using SQL Server on Windows 2003.
An easy solution to the host login is to complete the install, and set the machine key to match your old system. Then copy the password, and passwordsalt values from a known user in your old db to your host user in your new db. You can then login with the known password.
We imported about 30k users from a different CMS using our own code in conjunction with the DotNetNuke API. This took a lot of time and resulted in password resets for all users. Due to the time involved and the fact that we had to implement a friendly "Oh by the way, welcome to the new site, but you need to change your password now" feature,
I'd recommend the following:
I believe this module from DataSprings allows you to bring over users with passwords intact from another DotNetNuke instance. It is also DNN 6 compatible.
Mitchel Sellers made this very recommendation here, and I trust Mitchel when it comes to DNN.
