Earl,   That’s what EDI stands for????  I thought it was Easily Driven Insane.  Man, that clears up a lot of questions on why I get blamed for everything wrong.    Cheers, Chris Hodges     From: Earl Wertheimer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 08, 2005 3:44 PM To: Dubost, Mike; EDI-L@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [EDI-L] EDI Question   Mike > I read all the posts here and am wondering if any of you are getting > requests for "spreadsheets" to be sent to > customers calling it EDI?  It's looking like anything transmitted is being > called EDI without it actually being > EDI as I know it or you folks talk about.  Actually the acronym EDI is Electronic Data Interchange. So actually, they are correct.  Email is exchanged electronically, so it is also EDI  ;-) Most of what we do here is EDI using the X12 format to exchange business documents. That's why a lot of eCommerce stuff is also considered EDI, even though it may not use X12 to exchange information.
