Not "Boo hoo", sir; "Still?" I continue to be amazed at the number of firms which think they can "do EDI" without the active participation of the Real Users; that is, that the "I/T department" alone can implement an EDI trading relationship with a customer, vendor, or other partner. IMNSHO* it cannot be done. I/T guys are often way too academic, lacking practical knowledge of their employer's real business. "Doing EDI " is *not* an "I/T thing" ... it's a "business process" thing. How do you expect guys to improve something about which they know little or nothing? Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc.
