Simple is good.<br><br>No need to start developing software when you don't have to.<br><br>Since you are already using spreadsheets but consistency is the issue, <br>why not use Google Documents, which has hosted spreadsheets, that <br>
people can collaborate on simultaneously.<br><br>And you can also upload your existing Open Office sheets in it, so setup <br>is quick. <br><br>Moreover you can download them back to Open Office, so you are not <br>locked in at all.<br>
<br>You can also take a look at Google Apps Basic for email, which integrates<br>well with Google Docs. For example, all attachments that can be opened<br>in Google Documents have a "View" link that you click on right in the email.<br>
This applies to word processing documents, spreadsheet and PDFs too.<br><br>It is free, and open enough, and you don't host anything.<br>-- <br>Khalid M. Baheyeldin<br><a href="http://2bits.com">2bits.com</a>, Inc.<br>
