You do like banging your head against a wall don't you? What you're
trying to do just doesn't work. All that happens is that people will
start calling you the document nazi.

Hi,

i know that users don't want to register there document, thats why we
want to 'force' them.
Not knowing that another users have made changes on essential documents
costs more than to
'force' everyone to register there documents.

Someone any other suggestions ?

There are quite a few that do bits of what you describe. The key
problem is most of the time, the users won't play ball. Although it's
possible to set up a system do do all these things automatically, a lot
of the time users just want to create a one-off, throw-away document
that isn't part of the control system; but to support that you need to
make the control optional, and then users forget to use it. (How would
you feel about a hard copy filing system that insisted you file *every*
piece of paper?)

Have a look at SharePoint, Documentum, Interleave, and any other links
you can find that refer to those products.

Is there a software package outhere that can solve our wishlist ?


Wishlist :
1.. Add-on for MsWord, Excel and Powerpoint, including the
contextmenu of the Windows Explorer
2.. When using "Save" or "Save as" there should be an generated
versionnumber in the documentsname.
3.. When using "Save" or "Save as" there should be a possibility to
add additional information (keywords) in a database.
including giving 'rights' to users/usergroups
4.. When saving a already existing document, then transfer the former
version to an archive (or make the former version no longer direct
available (don't delete it))
5.. When deleting a document, place the last version in a archive.
6.. Integration with the Windows Explorer
7.. Central database with posibilitys to search the already mentioned
keywords.
8.. Possibility to work off-line, and afterwards synchronise with the
central database.
9.. Option to read existing directories and add the documents to the
database (including a versionnumber to the documentsname).
10.. Adding rights to users/usergroups (see point 3)
11.. Open database (for example ODBC database of other thru Delphi
available database)

Optional:
a.. Searchoptions within the documents.
b.. Web-interface

Nice to have
a.. Open architecture (COM interface)

Thanks for your input
