Re: master torture

["klein, david" <dk2445 -at- TXMAIL -dot- SBC -dot- COM>]

I should have gotten on this list long ago.

I suggested that one of our process managers use a master document to
handle a table that had to be updated weekly by 8 different people.  I
set it up for her and then spent the next 2 months trying to solve
assorted problems....updates missing, file names changing, files
disappearing, etc.  She finally gave up on the idea after great
frustration and aggravation.
