[nfbcs] Collaboration Revisited

[slery]

Thank you, Joe. I am someone that had asked specifically for any answers you
got since I was looking for a similar item.

I am personally going to try the first option since I need the assignment of
tasks more than the sharing files though I'll probably use that, too.

Again, thanks for the follow-up.

Cindy

Anyway, I think Steve Jacobson made a good suggestion for us to produce
follow-ups to our inquiries, and I hope this will be of benefit to some of
you.
