[Nfbc-info] Microsoft Share-Point

[David Andrews]

Well, as I said earlier, Sharepoint can be set up in different ways, 
so it may not be possible to read a document, even though it started 
out as Word. It may be too, I obviously can't say from here.

If you are a client or customer of rehab, it is rediculous to ask you 
to get a document from Sharepoint.  If you are an employee, and a 
part of a team, working on documents, it makes sense, but for 
external  people, who just need to read something it is stupid and 
not a reasonable expectation.
