@itguy08, you said "..our CIO at the time had a hard on for Sharepoint....And we went through 3 consultants, including Microsoft who couldn't get it to work right."

I have the feeling that our manager selected Sharepoint because it was the hottest thing, not the best for the process we were replacing. There were many mistakes that were made, but the one who took the fall was the poor Indian contractor (as if I couldn't have guessed whose head would be on the chopping block).

Of course, I'm not the one who had the authority to make the decisions -- just the one who has to live with them!
