Surely that is a failing of the CAPs system if it fails to deliver what you need, not a data exchange issue. Exchange of data between systems which are based on the principles of relational databases and GIS should be achievable, providing the administrators of both system can define what they are trying to exchange and the format in which to do so.
You mention the UAD - we both know there issues with how usable it is in its current form, and what suggestions have been put in place to solve this. If you could specify what data you wanted for use in CAPs, and in what format, then I am sure something could be achievable for the future.

Sarah and all
If I had a workable link to CAPSUniform, I would try your suggestion,
but we haven't yet got a functional Listed Building module or been
enabled to use the development control systems (so much for systems
introduced without adequate user consultation or support - have a
meeting just before Christmas at which progress may be made, but I'm not
holding my breath!!). When I went to a briefing by a CAPS instructor,
showed him the Urban Archaeological Database info, and asked about data
exchange, I got a flat "no".
What I am hoping to hear is that someone out there has got planning
systems and HER systems in dialogue, with 2-way exchange of info. I
asked virtually the same question on this forum as part of the
information- gathering for my talk at Oxford in May, and don't recall a
single affirmative answer.
If no-one has achieved it locally, then isn't it about time DCMS, ODPM
and EH got together and resolved the issues???

Have you tried exchanging CAPUniform entered data with your partner
HER? The offer is open and has been for quite a while to at least see
what if anything is possible.
Best wishes
Sarah

Dear all
I would be v interested in responses to this, and in particular in
hearing of your experiences in feasibility (or not) of exchanging
information with CAPSUniform or any of the other systems being bought
in by planning authorites to help them meet ODPM e-government
requirements. I am unable to exchange CAPSUniform entered data with my
partner HER at the County.

As part of our HER on the web project I have been asked to find out if
any SMRs/HERs have links direct or indirect to their authorities
planning systems and if so; how do these work? how satisfactory are
they?
If it helps we use a system called MVM.
Thank You
