I collect emails/faxes and the users add 5 fields worth of data to the form. Then, it's just passed around a few queues for workflow. I did add an interesting piece and if it continues to work (I don't trust my own code) I'll probably blog about it. I added a queue mode. I allow users to set a profile field to turn on "Queue Mode" which opens up the next document after it. That doesn't sound that complicated but you have to turn on record locking or Replication Save conflicts are instantaneous. It’s sad how the simple the database is.

I work at an organization where we really do need to 'go green' - the amount of paper wasted is just staggering. Do share !!!

I will gladly offset the loss by drinking more Wisconsin beer. Thanks. I will gladly offset the loss by drinking more Wisconsin beer.

It's great to be able to see an environmental benefit from your coding. I'm not sure that saving all that paper is going to do much to help the Wisconsin economy, though. Congratulations!
